Overview

Travel in style on a coach tour from Auckland to visit the stunning Waitomo Caves and experience the movie magic of Hobbiton Movie Set – set on rolling farmland, this is the world famous movie set where you’ll see the intricately created ‘Hobbit holes’ the Green Dragon Inn, the Party Tree and so much more!

HIGHLIGHTS: 

  • Guided tour of the Waitomo Caves
  • Guided tour of Hobbiton Movie Set
  • Get up close to the ‘Hobbit hole’ houses, The Green Dragon Inn, lush farmlard, the Party Tree and much more

Leaving Auckland, you’ll experience the beautiful Waikato countryside in luxurious coach comfort. During your trip your local driver guide will entertain you with stories and information about the region and its history.

Set off on a 45-minute guided tour of the Waitomo Caves, filled with gorgeous glowworms, ending with a truly special boat trip through the Glowworm Grotto, where glowworms twinkle and shine overhead as you sail through a dark and silent cavern. Plus, you’ll enjoy a free picnic lunch while you travel to your next destination.

Once at Hobbiton Movie Set you’ll be expertly guided as you stroll around the set – stand in the doorway of a Hobbit hole, see where the hobbit Bilbo himself lived, and top off your day with a complimentary beer, ale, cider or ginger beer at the Green Dragon Inn.

Please note: A development project is underway at Hobbiton Movie Set until December 2023. Please visit the official Hobbiton website for detailed information on how this construction could impact your experience.

After you’ve experienced the Shire, hop back on our luxury coach and return to Auckland in the evening.
