Private Tour from Auckland Hobbiton Rotorua and Wai-O-Tapu Discount Tickets

Overview

This exclusive tour combines two of New Zealand’s most memorable destinations in one day, designed for comfort, flexibility, and personal service. From the moment your guide greets you in Auckland, every detail is arranged so you can enjoy the journey without the rush of a large group. Travel through Waikato’s rolling hills to Hobbiton, where you join a guided group tour to explore hobbit holes, gardens, and film sites, finishing with a drink at the Green Dragon Inn. Pause for lunch before continuing to Wai O Tapu, world famous for surreal geothermal features. On a self guided walk, see the Champagne Pool and vivid green Devil’s Bath. A scenic drive through Rotorua adds Lake Rotorua, Government Gardens, and Rachel Spring, with flexible stops and stories from your guide ensuring a personal experience.
