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

Sydney_B, Oct 2026

Highly recommend!!

I highly recommend this tour of the North island!! Our guide Jason was friendly, knowledgeable, and quite witty which made the trip even better! The views are breathtaking and each stop is unique and adventurous. We had coffee and meat pies, walked through the geothermal park (a major highlight) and even learned about the Maōri culture at Te Puia. This tour accommodates everything and is well worth the cost!!

Recommend this tour

We loved the whale watching experience. We saw a large Fn whale and a Minki whale( which uncharacteristically circled our boat! Crew and passengers were all very excited. The crew included 2 marine biologists who talked with us about marine life. It was a great experience

Hobbiton & Waitomo Caves Guided Day Trip from Auckland incl lunch

Kevin_N, Oct 2026

Hobbit Holes & Glowworms

This was an absolutely fantastic day trip and one I would highly recommend! It was an early start, but well worth it. Our guide, Mike, was prompt with the hotel pickup, extremely informative, and clearly passionate about his job. The six-hour round-trip drive to Hobbiton offered beautiful New Zealand scenery, and Mike’s safety-conscious driving and excellent organization made the journey comfortable and enjoyable. The included lunch was a welcome addition to the day, making the tour even more convenient and allowing us to relax and recharge between these incredible experiences. Seeing the Lord of the Rings film set in person was amazing! The Shire is absolutely gorgeous, with incredible attention to detail that makes you feel as though you’ve stepped straight into the movies. Our Hobbiton guide, Cory, was informative, friendly, and helpful throughout the tour. The complimentary beer stop at the Green Dragon Inn was a wonderful touch and the perfect way to soak up the atmosphere of the Shire! Our visit to the Waitomo Glowworm Caves was equally memorable. Our Māori guide was extremely knowledgeable and deeply passionate about his culture, sharing a real appreciation for the history of the caves and the importance of respecting this special place. The boat ride through the darkness, gazing up at millions of glowing worms, was almost a spiritual experience. It felt like looking up at a clear night sky filled with stars — truly magical! From the beautiful scenery and exceptional guides to the included lunch and two unforgettable attractions, this tour was extremely well organized and delivered an incredible day of experiences. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Auckland! It’s a wonderful opportunity to experience two of New Zealand’s most iconic attractions in one memorable day.

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

Lawrence_O, Oct 2026

Great tour if you are limited on time

I did a cave tour here way back in 1997 but this time we opted for.something a little tamer. Boat tour is the way to go if you don't have the whole day and we were on a cruise ship. We arrived a few days early and they picked us up from the hotel at Princess Wharf. Great guide who gave us history and comedy along the way. It was a fantastic tour! As a retired professional firefighter/driver for a fire department, I can say most people don't notice a driver's habits unless it's a bad habit. At all times, Steve's priority was our safety. He always parked in safe areas and checked to make sure everything was clear before anyone got out. Smooth braking, acceleration and lane changes. A little technical glitch with his microphone but he overcame that and just used his voice. Cooler full of water, some snacks, local history throughout the drive and genuinely, a very personable guy. We enjoyed every minute. Steve is a gem and you are lucky to have someone like him representing your company. Whatever you're doing, keep it up. Wholeheartedly recommend this tour and the driver Steve. Thank you

Hobbiton Movie Set Tour with lunch from Auckland

Maria_E, Oct 2026

Amazing Hobbiton

It was a wonderful experience. The set is beautiful and the fact that it is an active sheep and cattle farm makes the experience more realistic hearing the sheep as you tour the set. I would highly recommend a visit to Hobbiton. The tour company was great. Very well organized and the driver was very knowledgeable and friendly.

Hobbiton Movie set & Waitomo Caves Small Group Tour From Auckland

John_D, Oct 2026

Must see visit to Hobbiton and Waitomo

We had a wonderful day with Clint. He was very knowledgeable about the tour and surrounding area. The visit to Hobbiton village was magical, just amazing! The glow worms at Waitomo caves were spectacular, never seen that before. A fair amount of driving was involved but it was nice to see so much of the countryside.

Hobbiton and Waitomo Glowworm Caves Tour with Lunch from Auckland

Hannah_B, Oct 2026

One Day: Two Once in a Lifetime Experiences

We had limited time in Auckland and this tour paired our love of LOTR with a snapshot of the beauty the North Island boasts. Our guide, Sam, was attentive, kind, and found the perfect balance between keeping us on schedule and allowing us to explore at our own pace. The Hobbiton gives you a lush look at the sets and countryside that you truly have to see to believe and recently they opened a Hobbit Hole that you can walk in and explore! The Glowworm cave is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience! A little spooky and spiritual, but also an incredible way to take a slow moment to appreciate nature in all its glory. If you are a jet lagged traveler who wants a thorough exploration of some iconic North Island countryside and a taste of adventure in woods without all the hassle of driving—this is the tour for you! **Also, this tour group KNOWS what worries us anxious types and does an amazing job communicating timelines around bathroom breaks, drive times, shop times, and even lets you pre-pick your meals!

Hobbiton & Waitomo Caves Guided Tour from Auckland with Lunch

Leslie_H, Sept 2026

A magical day

Waitomo cave is absolutely beautiful, and I learned a lot while I was there. The Hobbiton Movie Set was everything I ever dreamed it would be. The attention to detail is amazing, even down to the restrooms. And the tour guides at every turn were amazing. On the bus, our guide kept us entertained and informed and I learned so much about the history of New Zealand.

Hobbiton Movie Set Small Group Tour with Cheeky Kiwi Travel

Robyne_K, Sept 2026

Wow what a great day

We went with cheeky kiwi tours who proved to be excellent. We were on a short time frame but able to do this while our cruise ship was in port. Driver picked us up on time and dropped us off close to port at. 6.45pm plenty of time to make our boarding time. The whole bus ride in was entertaining as the driver pointed out lots of different places. At Hobbiton you are transported by the big green bus to the actual movie set. The set is in the middle of a working farm and we saw lots of lambs and sheep. The tour is a walking tour around all the houses. They have built a whole house do you can really explore and experience how it feels from the inside. We ended the tour at the inn where we had a cider. Would recommend this for all ages it was great fun even if you have never seen any of the movies. We had a little rain but umbrellas were provided.

With its sparkling harbors, soaring skyline, and active hiking trails, Auckland (or Tāmaki Makaurau) is a city made for adventure. Many Auckland tours take you to popular destinations around the North Island, such as the Hobbiton Movie Set, Kumeu Wine Country, and Waitomo Caves. But stick around, and you’ll find that there’s plenty to do in the city itself, from food tours and the Sky Tower to sea kayaking and Waitemata Harbour cruises.
