Itinerary:

1. ** Auckland - Your tour starts in New Zealand’s largest city. As we
drive out of the city your guide will not only set the scene for your
adventure today but also point out and guide you past some of the city’s top
highlights. **

2. Waikato - Exiting Auckland we travel south through the stunning
Waikato countryside, the most extensive farming area in the world,
encountering beautiful scenery, mighty rivers, great photo opportunities,
impressive mountains and several farm animals along the way.

3. ** Hobbiton Movie Set -** Arriving at ‘Hobbiton’ you will board
one of the big green Hobbiton buses for a two & a half hour fully guided tour
of this amazing 12 acre movie set with a professional Hobbiton guide to ensure
you get the most out of your visit. During your tour step into the lush
pastures of the Shire, visit 44 hobbit holes, see amazing gardens, hear the
secrets and stories about the making of the movies and enjoy a cold
complimentary beverage at the famous Hobbiton pub ‘The Green Dragon Inn’.

4. ** Auckland - **Sadly we must start to head north again but your
day is not over with a fully guided return trip to Auckland including surprise
stops. Depending on weather and timing our guides love doing other surprise
stops. Maybe a scenic stop near a lake or the chance to try New Zealand ice
creams, we love introducing you to local wildlife and animals. You will have
to jump on the tour to see where you go!

At Cheeky Kiwi Travel, we believe the true essence of our tours lies not just
in the stunning destinations, but in the journey itself. Our small group sizes
create a more intimate experience, allowing you to connect with other guests
and your guide. Each tour is thoughtfully designed to include surprise stops,
wildlife encounters and extra surprises that make your experience truly
unforgettable.
