Trip Overview:
Venture to Auckland, Rotorua, Milford Sound, and Queenstown on this 10-day New Zealand vacation with airfare, showcasing the country’s unique Maori culture and renowned natural wonder with a touch of Hobbiton magic.
Begin in Auckland, going from the Auckland Domain, the city’s oldest park, before visiting Davenport’s Mount Victoria and the Westhaven Marina, the Southern Hemisphere’s largest yacht marina. Stop by a local cafe for a coffee before your afternoon eco-tour of the Waitakere Ranges. Travel along the Waitakere Ranges to breathtaking views before encountering ancient Maori carvings. Stroll along Phia Beach’s black sand and immerse yourself in the natural wonder of one of the world’s most awe-inspiring beaches before embarking on a magical journey to Rotorua.
Travel south from Auckland over the rolling Bombay Hills to the rich farmland of the Waikato region. Journey through green hills and gain insight from your guide as you inch closer to the Shire, immersing yourself in the Hobbiton world. Embark on an engaging Hobbiton movie set tour and explore the last remaining 44 Hobbit Holes and Bilbo’s house before enjoying a feat in the Party Marquee and indulging in ale, cider, and ginger beer at the Green Dragon Inn.
Continue your adventure in Rotoru’as most popular natural geothermal parks and discover the volcanic processes of Rotorua and New Zealand throughout time. Marvel at the abundance of volcanos, geysers, hot springs, and New Zealand’s largest mud pool on a cinematic drive through Wai O Taipu, Waimangu Volcanic Valley, and Rainbow Mountain. Enjoy a guided visit to Te Puia, Rotorua’s premier cultural centre, showcasing New Zealand’s Maori culture, customs, and traditions.
