// what to expect

Visit two of New Zealand’s top destinations in one unforgettable day trip! Experience the real Middle-earth on a fully guided 2.5-hour tour of the Hobbiton Movie Set. Wander through the famous Hobbit Holes, capture memorable photos, visit iconic filming locations, and enjoy a locally brewed cider, beer, or non-alcoholic drink at the legendary Green Dragon Inn. Then continue to Rotorua to visit Te Puia and the Whakarewarewa Geothermal Valley, where you’ll come face-to-face with the powerful Pōhutu Geyser, the largest active geyser in the Southern Hemisphere, bubbling mud pools, and native kiwi birds. Hear Māori guides share stories, traditions, and knowledge passed down through generations. Complete your visit at the Wood and Stone Carving Schools, where talented students preserve traditional Māori craftsmanship and keep these treasured art forms alive for future generations. A remarkable journey through movie magic, geothermal wonders, wildlife, and rich Māori culture.
