Hobbiton Movie Set and Rotorua Geysers
This is your chance to visit TWO of the North Island’s top visitor attractions on the same day! The amazing geothermal activity and geysers at Te Puia, and Hobbiton, the movie set, home of Bilbo Baggins.
Our drive to Rotorua, where Te Puia is located takes you through kiwi fruit and avocado orchards, past dairy farms and Maori archeological sites, through pine plantations and native rain forest alongside stunning lakes set in volcanic craters to the geothermal valley of 'Te whakarewarewa tanga o'te ope taua a wahiao', the home of the Southern Hemispheres biggest geyser, Pohutu.
From there a drive across the volcanic plateau down into the rich diary farming area of the Waikato and the location of the movie set, Hobbiton. Then leaving the Shire behind, return hrough the rolling countryside and over the 'Misty Mountains' to your ship in Tauranga.
An opportunity not to be missed for all fans of the Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings (LOR).
