Review of Auckland’s Hobbiton and Waitomo day trip, with lunch, transport, guide tips, costs, cave details, and honest advice on the long day.

“Hobbiton was overcrowded and you were pushed along to handle the massive crowd. Our group was so large we could barely hear the tour guide. If the groups where smaller I think it would be a better experience That said it was still interesting. And the sets where over the top beautiful”
