Hobbiton & Rotorua inklusive Waiotapu Day Tour fra Auckland
Beskrivelse
Vil du se mere af New Zealand end Auckland? Det er dagen for det. Start i det rullende landskab af Waikato på Hobbiton Movie Set, derefter bytte grønne bakker for boblende mudder, dampende kratere og surrealistiske farver af Wai-O-Tapu. To helt forskellige landskaber, to meget forskellige sider af New Zealand, alt sammen på én dag fra Auckland - uden at leje en bil eller finde ud af ruten selv. Mens de destinationer, du vil besøge, er spektakulære, tror vi på Cheeky Kiwi Travel, at det er vores små grupper, vores guider, rejsen og de små detaljer, der sætter vores ture godt fra hinanden. Ledet af vores passionerede guider, berygtet for at bringe din rejse til live, dele deres historier og baggrundskendskab, og køre i moderne minibusser fyldt med ekstra, der sikrer din komfort og sikkerhed.
Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Din tour starter i New Zealands største by. Når vi kører ud af byen, vil din guide ikke kun sætte scene for dit eventyr i dag, men også påpege og guide dig forbi nogle af byens største højdepunkter.
Kør gennem det fantastiske Waikato-landskab, det mest omfattende landbrugsområde i verden, på en fuldt guidet rejse til din næste attraktion. I løbet af turen vil du støde på en fantastisk natur, måske floder, gode fotomuligheder, smukke bjerge og se adskillige forskellige husdyr undervejs.
Ombord på en af de store grønne Hobbiton busser for at afgå på en to og en halv time fuldt guidet tur af denne fantastiske 12 acre film sæt med en professionel Hobbiton guide for at sikre, at du får mest muligt ud af dit besøg. Under din tur ind i de frodige græsmarker i Shire, besøge 44 hobbit huller, se fantastiske haver, høre hemmeligheder og historier om fremstillingen af film og nyde en kold drik på den berømte Hobbiton pub The Green Dragon Inn.
Berømt døbt 'Korrugeret hovedstad i verden' på grund af de mange unikke korrugerede jernskulpturer, og bygningen af denne by undlader aldrig at få et kig og en latter. Vores guider påpeger alle de vigtigste højdepunkter på vejen igennem.
Oplev Wai-O-Tapu Geothermal Wonderland, betragtes som et af de mest surrealistiske steder på jorden. Her vil du se den berømte Champagne Lake, Djævelens bad, lokale mudder-pools, geotermiske kratere og andre geotermiske vidundere. Farverne og aktiviteten vil tage vejret væk.
For at afslutte vores Rotorua-oplevelse laver vi en guidet køretur, hvor vi ser de mest berømte steder i Rotorua by, herunder: Lake Rotorua, Rotorua Museum, Government Gardens, Whangapipiro (Rachel Spring) & Blue Baths. Hvis der er tid, kan vi endda besøge en særlig souvenirbutik for at shoppe med rabat og prøve Manuka Honey.
Desværre må vi begynde at tage nordpå igen, men din dag er ikke slut med en fuldt guidet returrejse til Auckland inklusive hemmelige stop undervejs.

Absolutely amazing tour from start to finish! Hobbiton was magical, and the stunning geothermal scenery at Wai-O-Tapu was unforgettable. Everything was well organized, and our guide made the whole day fun and enjoyable. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting New Zealand!
The trip to Hobbiton is amazing. It really is like being transported to the Shire. Jeoff our guide was knowledgeable and friendly. The meat pie he suggested was better than the one in Australia just like he said. The day made want to do another Cheekt tour aoon
Jeoff was an amazing tour guide and really made the day special with a wealth of knowledge. Perfect amount of time at each location. Can definitely enjoy Hobbiton even if you havent seen the Lord of the Rings / Hobbit movies.
It was a great tour! Jeff was very friendly and informative
This was a great experience. Convenience: we were able to stay in the CBD (downtown) area of Auckland and still get out to see Hobbiton and Rotorua without having to rent a car and drive on an unfamiliar side of the road, or on the windy country roads. As long as you're okay getting up early for the pickup, it's super easy. Roads: if you get carsick, definitely consider a scopolamine patch and have dramamine on hand if needed. The roads get a little windy near Hobbiton and near Waiotapu. Sitting up front helped a lot (there's windows all around the sides of the van but being able to see the road better helped). Hobbiton: this is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. This tour gets you there bright and early for the 9:10 tour group, so Hobbiton ends up feeling not too crowded and you get some lovely morning light for pictures. The approach to the farm is gorgeous, and they take you to a shop/cafe staging area where you board a bus operated by the Hobbiton site. The shop is small but has some good stuff, and the cafe food was tasty. Your Cheeky Kiwi tour guide gets you the Hobbiton tickets and then meets you after you get back from the Hobbiton tour. The Hobbiton tour itself is extremely well run. They give you a few minutes in each spot to take pictures, talk with the tour guide, etc. Because the path they take you on winds through the set a bit, it doesn't feel crowded, especially when you're there first thing in the morning. Seeing the level of detail and how they play with scale is really interesting. While the set itself was only ever built for exterior shots (you can't go in Bag End or the majority of the hobbit holes), they built a pair of hobbit holes you can wander around in. In a given tour, you only get to see one of them, but you don't miss too much by just doing one (we ended up doing the tour twice and checking out the one we hadn't seen the day before). They're very similar, like neighbor's houses with a mirrored floor plan. The knickknacks and furniture were different, but were both fantastic for photo ops. Be sure to check out the eels in the pond by the Green Dragon Inn! At the end of the tour of Hobbiton they give you a drink (they had a cider, a stout, and a lager, plus a non-alcoholic ginger beer) plus a food counter. Waiotapu: Waiotapu was a neat self-guided tour around the geothermal vents. The tour guide drops you off at the gift shop/cafe and gets you the tickets, then you get to wander the vents yourself. If you're reasonably mobile/fit, you should be able to see the entire path. The first two sections are very accessible, while the third section involves the most elevation changes and stairs. If you're running low on time and want to see the best part of the green (third) section, veer left to get to a beautiful turquoise lake at the end. The sulfur smell can be a bit strong at first, but it's an otherworldly experience to see the vents. There's also the Waiotapu Mud Pool very close to the visitor center that was really cool. This section of the tour is go at your own pace, and it's worth noting that this is the last place to get a meal other than a quick ice cream stand where they stop for restrooms on the way back to Auckland. It's also worth saying the driving around Rotorua is incredible. As a Southern Californian, it was a bit nerve-wracking to see white "smoke" coming up out of the vegetation because the first thought is "wildfire" but it's just the volcanic vents. Food: the one thing I think we wish we'd understood more clearly during this tour is when to grab food. Some of the other tours include a specific packed lunch or meal stop, while this one was more "grab something when you can." I'd plan on having your own snacks (the guide provided some but if you have a big appetite it helps to have more) and grabbing a meal both at the Hobbiton cafe and at the Waiotapu cafe.
We really enjoyed the tour, Matt is an excellent tour operator, he gave us all the advice and answered all our questions. Communication with staff was very efficient. We absolutely recommend it!
had a fantastic experience with Cheeky Kiwi Travel on the Hobbiton & Wai-O-Tapu day tour. The day started with an early morning pickup that was right on time, and everything was well organized from start to finish. Our tour guide was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and always happy to answer questions or offer helpful tips throughout the day. They made sure everyone was comfortable and kept the schedule running smoothly while still allowing plenty of time to enjoy each stop. Both Hobbiton and Wai-O-Tapu were absolutely worth visiting, and having all the transportation and logistics taken care of made for a relaxing, stress-free day. I would definitely recommend Cheeky Kiwi Travel to anyone looking for a well-run day trip from Auckland!
We had an incredible Rotorua and Hobbiton tour with Timmy! From the moment we set off, Timmy made the entire experience enjoyable, informative, and memorable. He is not only an excellent tour guide with a wealth of knowledge about the area, but also a genuinely kind and caring person who goes above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome. His enthusiasm, sense of humor, and passion for New Zealand really brought the tour to life. Everything was well organized, and we never felt rushed, giving us plenty of time to enjoy both Rotorua and the magical Hobbiton experience. If you're thinking about booking this tour, I can't recommend Timmy highly enough. He made an already amazing trip truly unforgettable. Thank you, Timmy, for such a fantastic day!
Great experience in Hobbiton and Waiotapu. Guide Trent very kind with us and provided valuable information during the tour. The tour exceeded our expectations which were high since the beginning.
The Hobbiton & Rotoura tour with Cheecky Kiwi Travel was excellent. The tour and driver John were fabulous for a multi-generational family, captivating each family member’s attention and enthusiasm. We strongly recommend this tour for anyone traveling through the North Isle of New Zealand.
