Hobbiton Movie Set & Te Puia Geothermal Valley Tour

Combine two must do New Zealand activities on a Hobbiton and Rotorua day trip with Auckland & Beyond Tours. Departing from central Auckland, travel in a luxury Mercedes vehicle to visit the Hobbiton Movie Set and Te Puia Geothermal Valley in Rotorua. Auckland & Beyond Tours specialise in small group adventures from Auckland visiting iconic New Zealand attractions.

Your Hobbiton and Rotorua day trip begins in central Auckland, where your guide with Auckland & Beyond Tours picks you up for a two hour scenic drive through the Waikato region. Enjoy plenty of scenic photo opportunities from the comfort of the Auckland & Beyond Tours Mercedes vehicle before arriving at the Hobbiton Movie Set. After a quick stretch of the legs, meet your expert Hobbiton guide and hop on the tour bus to visit the famous hobbit holes, double arched bridge and mill house. The two hour Hobbiton tour finishes with your choice of a beer, ginger beer or cider at the Green Dragon Inn, before setting off for the rest of your journey with Auckland & Beyond Tours. 

Rotorua is a one hour drive from Hobbiton, so sit back, take in the views and listen to interesting commentary from your guide with Auckland & Beyond Tours. The next stop on your Auckland & Beyond Tours experience is Te Puia Geothermal Valley, where you are welcomed into a historic Maori village to discover a glimpse of traditional Maori culture. Te Puia Geothermal Valley is famous for being home to the Southern Hemisphere’s largest geyser, the Pohutu Geyser, which you can visit alongside steaming mud pools and native kiwi birds on your guided tour. After two hours of exploring the wonders of Te Puia Geothermal Valley on your Hobbiton and Rotorua day trip, it’s time to make your way back to Auckland.
