In the footsteps of Frodo
Where New Zealand tour Self Drive 14-Day Lord of the Rings & Hobbit Holiday by New Zealand Travel Organiser
Journey across Middle-earth with your little Hobbits on a two-week self-drive package from Auckland to Queenstown. After exploring the City of Sails, make your way to Matamata, home to the expansive pastures of private farmland that were the setting of The Shire. Visitors can enjoy a two-hour guided tour of the Hobbiton movie set, with spectacular views of the Kaimai Ranges. The journey continues through the North Island with stops in Rotorua, the geothermal capital of New Zealand, and the Waitomo Caves to see the magical sight of the glowworms that cling to the cave ceilings. Hear the roar of 220,000 litres of water thundering over the Huka Falls in Taupo, before stopping off in bustling Wellington to follow in the footsteps of Hobbits, Dwarves and Elves with a full-day Lord of the Rings tour. In the South Island, enjoy a cultural pit stop in Christchurch before heading off to Queenstown to view the scenic backdrop for many scenes in the movies on a 4WD safari and jet boat experience. nztravelorganiser.com
