Experience the perfect blend of comfort and adventure on an epic all-inclusive day trip to discover Hobbiton and Waitomo Ruakuri Cave.

This small group tour takes the stress and inconvenience out of planning, starting with a pick-up by luxurious 18-seater Mercedes coach.

We'll travel through some of the North Island's most picturesque rural landscapes where you'll see quaint farm blocks and vast hill country estates along with rolling farmlands, green pastures and native forests - all stunning features that characterize the Waitomo region.

Waitomo Ruakuri Cave - Step into a world of natural wonder on this magical underground experience. Unlike other cave tours, Ruakuri offers a unique blend of subterranean marvels, including the enchanting glowworms that will leave you spellbound. You'll descend down a stunning spiral entrance before exploring delicate limestone formations and crystal-lined walls, accompanied by the soothing sounds of hidden waterfalls.

Afterward, enjoy a delicious bespoke lunch alongside your fellow travelers.

Hobbiton Movie Set - The journey continues with a scenic drive across the Waikato region, leading to a working sheep farm in Matamata—better known to fans of J.R.R. Tolkien as "The Shire." Immerse yourself in the world of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit and discover the secrets behind Middle-earth’s creation as you wander through lush gullies, ancient trees, and detailed film sets, including Hobbit Holes, the Mill, and the Green Dragon Inn. Top off the experience with a specially brewed drink that’s truly worthy of a hobbit.
