Ultimate day trip from Auckland

Escape to New Zealand’s iconic landmarks and natural wonders for the day from Auckland. Start your journey with a guided tour of the Hobbiton movie set where you can stand in front of the iconic “No admittance” sign in front of Bilbo Baggin’s house and take in the scenic Shire that made The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit so iconic. Who knows, you might see some chimney coming out of one of the Hobbit homes in the set? Stop at the Green Dragon Inn where you can enjoy an exclusively brewed ginger beer or cider in a cozy, rustic setting.

The best of Rotorua

You continue on to Wai-O-Tapu, a stunning geothermal wonderland where hot springs, mud pools, and the Champagne Pool, a hot spring ringed with vivid orange deposits and filled with turquoise water. Wai-O-Tapu is also home to bubbling mud pools, steaming craters, and the famous Lady Knox Geyser, which erupts daily with a geyser-like spray that reaches up to 20 meters high. End the tour by driving through Rotorua’s city to see highlights like the half-timbered style of Rotorua Museum and the bright green volcano crater lake, Whangapipiro.
