Waitomo Caves and Lord of the Rings Hobbiton Movie Set Tour including Lunch from Hamilton

After being picked up from your Hamilton hotel at 10am (or another time if you prefer), sit back and relax on the 1 hour drive to the Waitomo Caves. The route passes through very scenic countryside and farmland in the beautiful Waikato region.
At Waitomo, join a 45-minute tour of the amazing glow-worm caves, including a tranquil boat ride on an underground stream to ensure a good view of the glow worms.
Then continue the journey in your private vehicle to a farm near the small town of Matamata and the Shire's Rest cafe, where you can have some lunch and from where your Hobbiton Movie Set Tour begins.
Lasting about 2 hours, your tour takes you on a drive through the rural sheep farm that was chosen as the Hobbiton Movie Set for The Lord of the Rings and Hobbit movies. Hear how the location was chosen, how the sets were created and which scenes were shot here. Visit famous sites from the films, including the cute Hobbit holes cut into the ground at Bag End, the Green Dragon Inn, the Mill and the Party Tree.
Your tour concludes at the quaint Shire's Rest cafe, where your private guide will collect you for your return trip to Hamilton. On the return journey, enjoy scenic views of the North Island's countryside before being dropped at your hotel back in Hamilton city.
You will be transported in a private luxury vehicle with your own private guide between locations during the day but Waitomo Caves and Hobbiton Movie Set Tours are both on a group basis with other people.
