Hobbiton is one of New Zealand's most popular must see attractions suitable for all ages and especially important for any Lord of the Rings & The Hobbit fans.

The two hour guided tour with a local Hobbiton guide for will take you through the movie set exploring the many Hobbit holes, bridges and gardens before stopping off at the Green Dragon Inn for a local ale. I also highly recommended the pie! If your a fan a of the movie's, the detail and history behind the movie set is incredible and it's nice to see up close and personal the real thing normally only seen on the big screen.

The Waitomo region is one of New Zealand's most popular destinations due it's diverse and unique activities on offer. Suitable for all ages the glowworm caves is an amazing must see experience and this is just the beginning.

Thousands of these tiny creatures radiate their unmistakable luminescent light as expert guides provide informative commentary on the Caves' historical and geological significance.

Marvel at Mother Nature's light display as you glide silently through the starry wonderland of the Glowworm Grotto.
