Explore Middle Earth
Amazing tour with Bush & Beach! Excellent communication regarding pick up and the logistics by Alex, our transport chaperone (as he referred to himself) and then handed us over to our driver & guide Steve who was amazing! I highly recommend Bush & Beach for this tour, and a visit to Hobbiton should not be missed, even for those that aren’t fans of the Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit movies. It is a ‘magical’ place and the lunch was wonderful!

A very interesting...
A very interesting culinary experience with elements of New Zealand's economic and history. For those planning a short stay in Auckland, it offers the opportunity to explore the diversity of local cuisine, and for those staying longer, it offers some ideas for further exploration of local flavors. I highly recommend this adventure.

Beautiful way to experience Coromandel in one day!
An amazing day trip with a nice and short hike to the Cathedral Cove (there seems to be an alternative way to go as well by paying $40 and taking a water taxi, but I definitely recommend the hike to take in Coromandel). The beach itself is beautiful with plenty of space and avenues to take pictures and take a dip.
The hot water beach on the other hand is okayish. Not bad but nothing super spectacular itself. However the trip is worth just the first half. Also our guide, Ari was absolutely amazing with tidbits of trivia and making the journey quite fun.

Te puia and poly spa
My sister and I had a great time with Matt as our guide. We decided to do te puia and the Polynesian spa and I would definitely recommend both! We started our day at te puia and learning about the culture and natural wonders of te puia and Rotorua. A truly wonderful experience with some great information. We ended our trip at the Polynesian spa and it’s was so relaxing! It’s not something I would ever choose to do personally but my sister really wanted to it and convinced me, and we both had a wonderful time. I would recommend bringing your own bathing suit and flip flops for the spa, both are available for purchase at the spa tho. Shampoo conditioner and lotion are all available at the spa for free use as well so don’t worry about bringing your toiletries. We decided to have lunch at the spa cafe and it was super tasty (get one of the fresh squeezed juices!) the spa has some great skin care to try out and purchase as well but I do think te puia had the better gift shop all around (one of the best that we’ve been to over the last few days if I’m being honest we did the majority of our souvenir shopping there) over all highly recommend and I would do it again in a heart beat.

A must do
Our tour to Hobbiton Movie Set and the Waitomo Glowworm Caves was a great experience overall. Our guide, Cheeky Mike, was very knowledgeable, engaging, and made the trip enjoyable with interesting stories along the way. Hobbiton was beautiful and immersive, and the glowworms at Waitomo were magical. The only small downside was not being able to take photos or videos in the caves, which was a bit of a bummer. Overall, it was a very enjoyable tour and well worth doing while visiting New Zealand.

Hobbitton and Waitomo Caves - WORTH IT
This was really incredible. The bus to get to the caves and Hobbitton was clean and comfortable. The bus driver was lovely. The Waitomo caves are unlike anything I have ever seen before. If it wasn’t so beautiful, I would be totally freaked out by being on a tiny boat in pitch black. After the caves we went to Hobbitton. The tour guide we had was so good. Everything was super well organized.
My ONE complaint is that I requested a vegan option for lunch and it was lettuce and tomato on a soggy bun and it was inedible. If you’re vegan, bring your own food.

The flowers at Hobbiton are amazing, as a true fan would expect.
Understand the itinerary and know what you are getting into. These sites are a long way from Auckland, so be prepared for a long day on the bus with short stops at the sites (the Hobbiton tour part is only 2 hours). I was told by another on the tour that the Hobbits are very proud of and competitive about their gardens, and it shows here because the plants are amazing, the pumpkins and gourds are gigantic.
The sulphur smell at the volcanic pools is quite strong. There are 3 walks to choose from, ranging from 30 to 90 minutes. We did the middle one, which was 50 minutes and sufficient to get a real take of the place.

Experiencing the Shire/Dragon Inn with Auckland and Beyond Tours
Geoff picked us up, and along the 2.5 hr drive he shared his knowledge of all things New Zealand as a 4th generation Kiwi, with consideration that some of the riders might have just traveled over 25 hrs to get to NZ. Once on the movie set, Andrew was our guide with a wondrous enthusiasm after growing up on set as his father worked on the original movie/set. Walking thru the hobbit 'holes', and the level of detail transports you back to the movies. A brilliant experience that I'm grateful I didn't miss.

Wonderful and fun way to...
Wonderful and fun way to see the Auckland Harbour. The night we were out there were dozens of other sailboats and really gave us a feel for how Kiwis belief in working to live. Crew was awesome, food was good. It was a chilly night we were out and they provided blankets to stay warm. This was an experience we will rember for a long time to come.

Excellent food experience! Thanks Alex!
This is an excellent food tour! Not too much, so you didn't feel bloated...the food was delicious especially the meat pie...and our guide, Alex, was outstanding! Her passion for food and 5th generation history of New Zealand helps make it an outstanding food tour! Thank you Alex!

Hobbiton is one of my...
Hobbiton is one of my dreamed places to visit. Finally I visited it. These Hobbits houses and their gardens, and Hobbiton overall landscapes are better than I imagined. Visiting the inside of a Hobbit house was a huge bonus, every room of that house was fully furnished with cute furnitures and decorations. The entire 2 hours Hobbiton tour were filled with fun!

Auckland Day Trip
I could not have asked for a better guide in Jason. He was amazing and full of so much information. I unfortunately had to get off one stop before finishing trip for medical appointment and Jason showed me where to go and very helpful. Thank you to Jason and team for outstanding service and I thoroughly recommend this trip to everyone.
