About the Lord Of The Rings Movie Set (Hobbiton)

Join us on this intimate tour as we travel across the Shire from the Lord of the Rings. Listen to your guide tell you filming secrets behind the movie, like how did they make Gandalf look so big? See if you can spot any Hobbits peeking out of the windows and make sure you get a selfie in front of the famous green door. 
&nbsp;

After all of that exploring it&#39;s time to recharge your batteries, so grab a glass of Hobbit cider from the Green Dragon Inn and don&#39;t forget to pinch yourself because you&#39;re in the Shire!&nbsp; 
&nbsp; 
On our return to Auckland, we will take you through some of New Zealand&#39;s most beautiful countryside, including the majestic Waikato River (longest river in New Zealand), Ngaruawahia (home of the Maori King) and Taupiri (a sacred Maori burial ground). 
&nbsp; 
All that&#39;s left to do is watch the trilogy!&nbsp;

&nbsp;

About Waitomo Caves

The world-renowned Waitomo Glowworm Caves are a magnet for travellers around the world. The glow worm, or &#39;Arachnocampa luminosa&#39;, can only be found in New Zealand. Admire thousands of these tiny creatures radiating their luminescent light. Our expert guides provide informative commentary on the historical and geological significance of the caves.The Waitomo Glowworm Caves are a must-see for any traveller. Enjoy this world-famous boat ride under thousands of magical glowworms and absorb over 120 years of natural and cultural history. 
&nbsp; 
&nbsp;

The Waitomo Caves&nbsp; 
The green hills of Waitomo cover a labyrinth of caves and underground rivers. The name Waitomo comes from the Maori words wai (water) and tomo (hole). The caves were created over thousands of years by underground streams pushing through soft limestone. They boast stunning stalactites growing down from the ceiling and stalagmites growing up from the cave floor. You will also find pointy cones with different layers of rock created over centuries by dripping water. The cave walls are also home to a wonderful galaxy of glow worms. The easiest way to admire the caves is with a walking or boat tour.&nbsp; 
&nbsp; 
&nbsp;

The boat ride 
Admire some of Mother Nature&#39;s tiniest lights as you glide through the shiny wonderland of the Glowworm Grotto. Wander underground alongside the Waitomo River. Gaze in silence at the wonder of glow worm lights that shine in the Glowworm Grotto. Enter this galaxy of tiny living lights and experience a serene ambience. 
&nbsp; 
&nbsp;

Two cave levels 
There are two levels of the Waitomo Glowworm Caves. The levels are formed over 30 million years ago and are 16 metres apart. The dry upper level forms the entrance to the cave, and the formations known as the Catacombs, the Pipe Organ and the Banquet Chamber. The humid lower level is made out of stream passages and accommodates the Cathedral. 
&nbsp;

The Cathedral 
The Cathedral can be found on the humid lower level of the Waitomo Glowworm Caves. At 18 metres high, this is the largest cavern. Its enclosed shape and rough surface provide for superb acoustics which make the Cathedral world-renowned. The Cathedral has been the stage for many famous singers and choirs who have been delighted with the purity of the sound. 
&nbsp; 
&nbsp;

The Tomo 
The Tomo is one of the many wonders of Waitomo. This 16 metre&nbsp;vertical limestone shaft gives way to an ancient waterfall which flows when it rains heavily. The dramatic vertical drop has been carefully lighted to reveal the natural-shaped walls and the layers of limestone. The Tomo was the last feature of the cave that has been formed. It links the upper level to the Waitomo River below.

&nbsp;

Both will be an experience you&#39;ll never forget!

&nbsp;

Youth: 8-14 years

Child: 4-7 years

Infant: 0-3 years - NZ$75

Had a great time on this trip. It was a bit chaotic on the boat with lunch and seating, but it was worth it. 

Our bus driver stepped in to help with all of the tours and he was awesome! 

It was a long 12 hour day between bus rides and boat rides. Be prepared!
