Tour Plan

Day 1 - Arrive Auckland airport transfer to your accommodation

Explore Auckland, a harbourside city known as the 'City of Sails'. Take a boat cruise and head out on the harbour - see if you can spot dolphins and whales frolicking in the water. Head up the iconic Skytower for huge views of the city and beyond. At 328 metres high, it's the tallest structure in New Zealand. In the evening, enjoy a romantic dining experience in the Viaduct, Wynyard Quarter or Britomart, where you'll find a large selection of delicious eateries.

Day 3 - Collect your rental car and drive from Auckland to Hamilton via Hobbiton

Today we will head to Hobbiton and experience the real Middle-earth™ at the Hobbiton™ Movie Set, where, in the heart of the Waikato region, you can step into the lush pastures of the Shire™, as seen in The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies. Fall in love with the Alexander family sheep farm, just as acclaimed director Sir Peter Jackson did, as you journey through the unequivocal beauty of the land, with the mighty Kaimai Ranges towering in the distance. Your guide will then escort you around the set, showing the intricate detailing, pointing out the most famous locations and explaining how the movie magic was made.

The sea views will astound, particularly on the 15th hole, where you will play 243 metres above the ocean with perilous drops on both sides.
