What you can expect

  • Visit Hobbiton Film Set and Wai-O-Tapu Thermal Wonderland in one day from Auckland. Your Cheeky Kiwi guide is with you all day, from pickup to drop-off. Travel south through the green farmland of the Waikato in a small group of no more than 15 people.

    At Hobbiton, a Hobbiton guide leads you on a 2.5-hour tour of the 12-acre film set. See 44 hobbit holes and the gardens, hear how The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit films were made, and enjoy a complimentary drink at The Green Dragon Inn. Then pass through Tīrau, a small town known for its corrugated iron sculptures.

    At Wai-O-Tapu, take a guided walk through one of New Zealand's most colourful geothermal areas. See Champagne Pool, Devil's Bath, Artist's Palette, bubbling mud pools and steaming craters. Finish with a guided drive past Lake Rotorua, Government Gardens and the Blue Baths, then relax on the return trip to Auckland. On the one-way option, the tour ends with drop-off in central Rotorua after Wai-O-Tapu.
