Description
Plan an adventure out of the city with our top escapes from Auckland. There are so many amazing things to do in Auckland but if you have a few extra days, it’s also the perfect time for exploring other areas of the North Island. There is an array of scenic landscapes and rugged coastlines lying just outside the city, waiting for you as we start moving outside the city. Be captivated by thousands of magical glow-worms as you glide silently by boat in the world-famous Waitomo Glow-worm Caves and walk into the real-world landscape of Middle Earth on a walking tour of the Hobbiton™ Movie Set, where you get a behind-the-scenes look at ‘The Lord of the Rings’ and ‘The Hobbit.’ Listen to spell-binding tales of how Hobbiton came to be.
