Hobbits and caves in one great package
Discover a little bit of movie magic in the heart of NZ.
Waitomo Caves and its world famous glow worms have been enchanting tourists for years. Combined with a tour of the Hobbiton movie set, the two make for a magical Waikato adventure worthy of the big screen .
No tour is complete without a great guide, so we’ve organised for Jim Archer from Archer Tours to show you round. Take it from us—no one knows the Waikato like Jim.
At the end of the day, relax and unwind at the best accommodation in town, the Novatel Tainui Hamilton Hotel.
