Tour overview

Journey from the urban bustle of Auckland into the heart of New Zealand’s cultural and cinematic landscapes. After marveling at Waitomo’s subterranean magic and Rotorua’s explosive geothermal wonders at Te Puia, you’ll find rejuvenation in the therapeutic mud baths of Hell’s Gate and tradition at a seasonal Te Pā Tū forest feast. Your adventure concludes with an exclusive exploration of the Shire, where the rolling hills of Matamata bring Middle-earth to life before your return to the city. 

While this itinerary serves as a great starting point, we invite you to connect with our travel specialists, who can help tailor these experiences into a larger New Zealand journey personalised to your interests.
