Guided Hobbiton tour in NZ’s Waikato: 12-acre Shire set, Hobbit Holes, behind-the-scenes stories, and a complimentary Green Dragon Inn drink.
“It was a well organized, super interesting and nice tour! Would recommend it to everyone.”
Hop from Auckland to Waiheke by ferry, then use a day-pass bus with 16 stops for vineyards, beaches, and village wandering.
“We have done a lot of tours in our travels and this tour was one of our favourites. It was very informative and fun. The property that the set is on is really beautiful. Not a difficult walk for most people but there are some hills and stairs that could be troublesome for others. Highly recommended.”
See Auckland fast by hop-on hop-off bus, with English commentary, WiFi, and easy access to Sky Tower, art, penguins, and more.
“Great to do our own thing & visit the tourist attractions”
Pre-book Auckland Sky Tower admission for big city views in about 1–2 hours, with free WiFi and easy central access.
“The skyjump and walk are worth the money paid another $80 too jump twice after original cost. The weather plays a very big part in what you are looking and doing, but the views are breathtaking. Not much in food or drink and a bit pricey.”
Auckland’s Wētā Workshop Unleashed is a 90-minute guided, hands-on look at practical effects across fantasy, sci-fi, and horror.
“Interesting to learn about the making of sets and props. Family friendly activity. Well priced.”
Auckland War Memorial Museum ticket for $16 lets you explore three floors of Māori, Pacific, war, and natural history at Tamaki Paenga Hira.
“A gem of a museum & covers a broad group of subjects & something should interest most any visitor. Had quite a few in attendance due to school groups & cruise ships. If that should be true for you, recommend you do top floor downward or top floor, then ground floor & then middle floor to ‘manage’ flow.”
Skip-the-line general admission to Auckland Museum in a heritage building. Explore Māori treasures and Pacific culture over 3–4 hours.
“Excellent museum. However, the Maori performance (we booked directly) was strange in the openly unfriendly way the performers treated audience members as soon as seated: no friendly welcome just warnings if you take a photo or applRead more”
Odyssey Sensory Maze Auckland on Queen Street. Pre-book a mobile ticket for a no-rush indoor sensory maze in 12 rooms.
“It was an awesome experience but a shame we weren't allowed to take phone to take photos inside I recommend u filming or taking photos of people and charge a price if they wish to have them for themselves.”
Visit Auckland’s Maritime Museum at Viaduct Harbour for ocean stories, hands-on exhibits, and standout maritime design for about 1 day.
“Great museum and beautifully designed. We were lucky to be there while the ITM New Zealand Sail Grand Prix was underway ~ so it was exciting and great location to watch the race.”
Leap 192m from Auckland’s Sky Tower in an 11-second, 85 km/h controlled wire jump, with Sky Tower entry and emailed photos.
“It was fantastic. The staff was very professional and focused on our safety. The jump was amazing.”
