Itinerary:
Auckland - Your tour starts in New Zealand’s largest city. As we drive out of the city your guide will not only set the scene for your adventure today but also point out and guide you past some of the city’s top highlights.
Waikato – Exiting Auckland we travel south through the stunning Waikato countryside, the most extensive farming area in the world, encountering beautiful scenery, mighty rivers, great photo opportunities, impressive mountains and several farm animals along the way.
Hobbiton Movie Set – Arriving at the first feature attraction ‘Hobbiton’ you will board one of the big green Hobbiton buses and depart on a two & a half hour fully guided tour of this amazing 12 acre movie set with a professional Hobbiton guide to ensure you get the most out of your visit. During your tour step into the lush pastures of the Shire, visit 44 hobbit holes, see amazing gardens, hear the secrets and stories about the making of the movies and enjoy a cold complimentary beverage at the famous Hobbiton pub ‘The Green Dragon Inn’.
Karapiro - Departing Hobbiton and heading towards Waitomo we stop at the stunning Lake Karapiro. Home to one of New Zealand’s first hydro dams and where some of New Zealand’s great rowers train. With amazing views across the lake and countryside, it’s a great place for a quick break and some photos.
Otorohanga – Continuing we will pass many more scenic beauties, see racehorse breeding areas and rivers before entering Otorohanga “The Kiwiana capital of New Zealand”. See all things Kiwi as you pass through this unique and charming town.
Lunch Stop – Time to recharge with a tasty lunch, included as part of your tour. Choose from a fresh selection of savoury bites to keep you going for the afternoon. Relax and enjoy the local flavours before continuing your adventure.
Big Bird – Getting close to our second feature destination, we stop outside the Big Bird & Miniature Animal Petting Farm to see and meet some of our local animals. These guys know our guides well and even though we do not have time to go inside the park, the friendly animals will often come to the fences for a photo or two, thrilling guests.
Waitomo Caves – Arriving at our second feature attraction you will be guided through the ancient and amazing caves seeing many different cave formations, including Stalactites, Stalagmites and Lime Columns, before descending even further underground for your Glowworm experience. Board your boat for a cruise on the grotto river with thousands of Glowworms sparkling above you. Unique to New Zealand for over 120 years, Waitomo Glowworm Caves are a must see for any traveller.
Auckland – Sadly after Waitomo we must start to head north again but your day is not over with a fully guided return trip to Auckland including secret stops along the way.

5.00This tour was amazing! We had Ben as our guide and he made the experience so enjoyable with all his stories, jokes, local insights and great playlist. He made sure everyone was comfortable and included and gave us extra snacks and water (he even made time for a coffee stop in the morning). The tour was very relaxed and never felt rushed, and we got a decent amount of time in the gift shops. Lunch was good, lots of options to choose from. I liked how the group size was small (about 15), which made the tour feel more inclusive. I definitely recommend this tour!
Amazing tour with beautiful locations and wonderful guides

5.00This day trip from Auckland was a fantastic experience from start to finish. I'm not a big fan of Lord of the Rings but the Hobbiton movie set tour had me smiling all the way through. The tour operator Cheeky Kiwi with Mike & Anahea (sorry if misspelled) got us there early before the masses of crowds, with commentary of the local history along the journey. Onto Waitomo caves and again what an experience. The family that still own the caves and our expert and comical guide made this a day to remember. I highly recommend Cheeky Kiwi and this day trip from Auckland
