Hobbiton and Waitomo Combo Tour Showcases Two New Zealand Icons


Travelers can make the most of their time in New Zealand with a full-day Hobbiton and Waitomo Combo Tour, combining two of the country’s most celebrated attractions in a single unforgettable experience. The adventure begins with a convenient pickup from Auckland CBD, followed by a scenic drive through the countryside to the world-famous Hobbiton Movie Set.


At Hobbiton, guests board a dedicated Hobbiton bus and join a guided tour through the enchanting village of Middle-earth. Visitors can explore the iconic Hobbit Holes, The Mill, and the Double Arched Bridge while learning fascinating behind-the-scenes stories about the creation of the movie set. The experience also includes a complimentary alcoholic or non-alcoholic drink at the renowned Green Dragon Inn.


Following the Hobbiton visit, the journey continues to the spectacular Waitomo Glowworm Caves. During a one-hour guided tour, guests venture underground to discover remarkable cave formations before boarding a peaceful boat ride along the Waitomo River.


As the boat glides through the grotto, thousands of glowworms illuminate the darkness, creating a magical and unforgettable display. After experiencing the beauty of Waitomo, guests return comfortably to Auckland CBD, concluding a day filled with iconic sights, fascinating stories, and memorable New Zealand experiences.

We did the behind the scenes tour and it was a truly magical experience. Our tour guide (Hayden) was enthusiastic, friendly, funny and very knowledgeable! We knew we were in for a good one when we saw his lotr tattoos! Hobbiton massively surpassed our expectations and The Green Dragon was a lovely cosy pub! The spread for the meal was really excellent and the food was absolutely delicious. My wife is a vegetarian and was very happy with the fried Tofu provided for her. It was a real treat to walk around the workshop seeing designs on the wall and the craftspeople in action working on fixing and repairing pieces for the hobbit holes. If you love Lord of the Rings this is an absolutely unmissable experience.

Hobbiton was amazing! Beware though, it books up months in advance, so definitely book way ahead of time. For the tour itself, the Shire is stunning - it has truly breathtaking landscapes and gardens. Our tour guide Mira was fantastic and provided a lot of great LOTR facts. The complimentary drink from The Green Dragon Inn was very tasty and you can buy bottled drinks from their gift shop exclusive to Hobbiton. We wanted to do the Evening Banquet Tour but it was booked up so we did the day tour which was still great. We got lunch at the cafe after which had lots of tasty options. Walking through the houses was also a very special treat since it’s only been open since 2023. Overall, we are so happy we got to experience this!

What am awesome experience. BOOK IN ADVANCE!!! I booked my nighttime banquet 6 months in advance and almost did not get a spot. You will not regret the banquet. Loved our tour guides, having the place practically to yourself (small group), actually going into a Hobbit hole and seeing the entire inside set up. And ending with dinner and an amazing lantern walk back to the busses.
