Hobbiton Movie Set Tour with lunch from Auckland

Aamenah_S, Aug 2026

Fab and lush

This was a easy and smooth experience from Auckland. Our driver spoke about the local land and NZ culture on the drive down, as a Kiwi it gave me time to relax and read. The weather was kind to us and the people I meet were fab. Everyone in my group was punctual and on time and we all respected each others space. The actual tour was and beautiful. The lunch was great too.

Hobbiton & Waitomo Caves Guided Day Trip from Auckland incl lunch

Katrina_G, Aug 2026

We had a great time with...

We had a great time with Nelson! He was so knowledgable about everything from the Hobbiton and Waitomo backstory to random forests, stands, and attractions on the side of the road while driving. Our tour guides in Hobbiton and Waitomo were also fantastic and hilarious. Plus, the lunch was actually delicious! Could not recommend this tour enough!

Auckland: Rotorua Tour with Waiotapu, Te Puia and Maori Haka

JoEllenMiller_M, Aug 2026

Wonderful tour with amazing sites!

We had an excellent tour including Rotorua, Waiotapu, Te Puia, and Māori. Our tour guide, David, was extremely knowledgeable and engaging. He was very helpful with the needs of his tour group. The sites were amazing! The geothermal springs and mud flats were amazing. The tour was enhanced by David’s selection of stops for snacks at the best bakery and ice cream shop! This tour is one of the best we have taken. Thanks, David for making the tour special! Dennis & Jo

Hobbiton & Waitomo Glowworm Caves Tour with Lunch from Auckland

Varvara_V, Aug 2026

Great tour

We had a fantastic day with Cheeky Kiwi visiting both Hobbiton and the Waitomo Glowworm Caves. It’s a long day, but absolutely worth it. Hobbiton was beautiful and incredibly well done, even if you’re not a huge Lord of the Rings fan. The Waitomo Caves were equally impressive. Everything was well organized and the day flowed smoothly without feeling rushed. Our Cheeky Kiwi guide, Liam, made the journey fun and interesting and added a lot to the overall experience. A memorable day and an excellent way to see both Hobbiton and Waitomo from Auckland. Highly recommended!

Auckland Dolphin and Whale Watching Eco-Safari Cruise

garybaldry12285, Aug 2026

Big man travelling

The staff were communicative, be prepared for some choppy waves(part of the exp for my mind) limited seating so if mobility is an issue potentially look at other options. Saw plenty of wildlife but know nothing is guaranteed. It is a long trip if you have small children have something to keep them distracted:)

Auckland to Waitomo Glowworms, Kiwi House & Blue Springs Day Tour

Leland_V, Aug 2026

Caves, Kiwi and Blue Springs are a Spiritual Experience

The Glowworms Cave experience is one of beauty and reverence. Our guide was informative, respectful and spiritual. This is an experience not to be missed. The Kiwi Hose was quant, and enjoyable. Our Driver came along with us and gave some interesting facts bout the birds we saw. Finally the Blue Springs was a lovely experience of pure nature which capped the day nicely. Now, a word of caution - be sure to check with your tour company about pick up times. Know that you will have only 20 minutes for a breakfast take away after 2 hours of driving. The same can be said for the Lunch time - which came at 3:30pm on our excursion. The entire day was 11+ hours as advertised.

From Auckland: Spellbound, Waitomo Glowworm Cave Small Group Tour

Danielle_B, Jul 2026

Incredible Experience!

In March, we went on a tour to the Waitomo Caves with David, and he did everything to make the trip memorable and comfortable. On the drive over, he entertained us with interesting stories of history and science. We also stopped at a bakery that was great. For the actual caves, a different guide took us through, and the glow worm cave was simply out of this world! What an incredible experience! I did a fair bit of research in choosing which location to see the glow worm caves, and I am so happy with this choice! On the way back, David took us to the Fat Kiwi, which was a delicious lunch spot. As a driver and tour guide, he made us feel safe and well cared for during the tour. I would highly recommend visiting such an incredible spot with this tour company!

Afternoon Piha Beach and Rainforest Tour from Auckland

Miranda_C, Jul 2026

Beautiful views!!

Beautiful tour! We had the best time and Ayla was an excellent guide. She gave us plenty of opportunities for pictures, she explained everything in great detail, and she was just super nice to boot! I highly recommend the tour. Also, the company notified me that they found my inhaler in their van (I hadn’t even noticed it was missing) and dropped it off at my hotel. What a great company!

Matt was a great guide...

Matt was a great guide who arrived for pickup up on time and made the journey interesting with his commentary. Hobbiton is incredible, even if you aren’t a super fan it is worth the trip. The scenery is stunning and the guides are fun and knowledgeable. I highly recommend for anyone wanting a Hobbiton day trip from Auckland.

Small-Group Hobbiton and Waitomo Day Tour with Lunch from Auckland

Lorri_M, Jun 2026

Highly recommended tour of Hobbiton and Waitomo glowworm caves

Wonderful tour. We took the tour of Hobbiton and the Waitomo glowworm caves during the off season. It was perfect because we felt like we had the places to ourselves. Hobbiton is bigger than I expected. We felt fully immersed in the village. The "Hobbit meal" afterwards was delicious. The Waitomo glowworm caves were also spectacular. It was a beautiful experience. We highly recommend this tour.

Hobbiton & Rotorua including Waiotapu Day Tour from Auckland

Mark_J, Jun 2026

Had a magnificent day!...

Had a magnificent day! Our driver Grant was friendly, gave interesting information about various locations on our drive, and had humorous stories to tell. Hobbiton was surreal and incredible. We were free to be as nerdy as we wanted and were encouraged by our tour guide. The geothermal location was a fascinating and scientific experience, but the smell of the sulfur and other fumes in the water made us wish to return to the Shire. Overall a wonderful day, highly recommend overall!
