1.5-Day Bay of Islands Rotorua Waitomo Caves and Hobbiton Tour from Auckland

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 31 reviews · from $1,684Our pick

Travel from Auckland through the Bay of Islands and Rotorua, with Cape Reinga, Ninety Mile Beach, Waitangi, Hobbiton, Waitomo Glowworm Caves, geothermal sights, and a Maori hangi evening. This is a semi-independent coach tour, so you change buses and follow a detailed schedule rather than stay with one group.

“Our family thoroughly enjoyed this action packed holiday and especially recommend it to those who have a limited time to see highlights of the North Island. We were so impressed by the exquisite scenery, the kindness of the countrys people and the richness of the Maori culture. Our only issue with the 5-day tour was that we would have preferred more detail about our itinerary and how to coordinate with the tour operators. Although Viator organised the bus transportation, hotel accommodations, and individual tours, we were left to coordinate when/where for pickups etc. for tours and transportation to the next locations.”
