The Experience

What your day looks like

Maximize your time by combining the private Hobbiton Movie Set tour and the Waitomo Caves tour into one seamless experience. Your adventure begins with a convenient pick-up from any location in Auckland's downtown area. We'll head first to the Hobbiton Movie Set, where you'll board a dedicated Hobbiton bus that takes you directly to the heart of the village. Guided by an expert, you’ll explore the enchanting set, learning fascinating details about its creation and behind-the-scenes facts. Get a chance to step inside a Hobbit Hole, marvel at iconic landmarks like The Mill and The Double Arched Bridge, and relax with a complimentary drink, alcoholic or non-alcoholic, at The Green Dragon Inn, followed by a delicious lunch. Next, we’ll head to the stunning Waitomo Glowworm Cave. Here, you’ll take a scenic boat ride along the Waitomo River and enjoy a one-hour guided tour through the famous glowworm-lit caves. Combining these tours allows you to immerse yourself in the charm of Middle-earth and the otherworldly beauty of New Zealand’s glowworm caves, all in one unforgettable day. Please notify us of any dietary requirements at the time of booking.
