Auckland: Hobbiton, Rotorua, Waiotapu and Waitomo 3-Day Tour

1.Hobbiton, Rotorua, Waiotapu and Waitomo 3-Day Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 22 reviews · 3 days · from $1,135Our pick

Three days from Auckland to Hobbiton, Rotorua, Waiotapu, Taupo and Waitomo, with small groups, meals, hotels and cultural stops.

“I had a fantastic time! I particularly loved Rotorua, and was really glad to be able to see it, particularly the Mitai evening and Waiotapu. I don't drive so this allowed me to see things I wouldn't have been able to otherwise. Everything was organised so efficiently, especially considering people in the group were doing different things. I never had to worry about anything! The drivers and guides were all so friendly and knowledgeable. It *is* a lot of money to spend for just 3 days, but considering how much was included, I don't regret it!”

Review of a private 3-day North Island tour from Auckland covering Hobbiton, Rotorua, Waitomo Caves, Hamilton Gardens, hotels, and tickets.

“This was a wonderful way for us to discover New Zealand North Island. Martin was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. He was always on time. Never made us feel rushed. We loved sitting back and letting someone else worry about driving and parking etc. We had such a great time. And he tolerated my husband's jokes.”
