Stop At: Hobbiton Movie Set, 501 Buckland Road Matamata, Hinuera 3472 New Zealand

Experience the life of a hobbit in New Zealand’s scenic Waikato region, home to the Hobbiton Movie Set, as seen in the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit trilogies.

Situated on the Alexander family sheep farm, the location originally chosen by LOTR director Sir Peter Jackson, the Hobbiton Movie Set truly recreates the magical paradise described by author JRR Tolkien in his books. Gazing across its emerald green pastures, and the Kaimai Ranges towering in the distance, you will feel like you’re being transported into another world.

Duration: 2 hours

Stop At: Waitomo Glowworm Caves, 39 Waitomo Village Road, Waitomo Caves 3943 New Zealand

Discover your moment of magic in the Waitomo Glowworm Caves tour. Known as one of New Zealand’s best natural attractions, take a boat ride through the glow worm grotto, marvel at thousands of magical glowworms and become part of over 130 years of cultural and natural history.

Discover an ancient world 30 million years in the making and marvel at Mother Nature’s light display as you glide silently through the starry wonderland of the Glowworm Grotto. Experience the serene ambience as you enter this galaxy of tiny living lights. The glowworm (Arachnocampa Luminosa) is unique to New Zealand, making the Waitomo Glowworm Caves an absolute must-do. See thousands of these tiny creatures as they radiate their unmistakable luminescent light in a subterranean world.
