Highlights
Why you'll love this trip
- Walk into a Hobbiton pub door built for someone half your height, then stand in Bilbo's garden while the guide explains how they keep the fake grass that specific shade of green.
- Milford Sound cruise with lunch onboard. Waterfalls drop 160 meters straight into the fjord, and if it's raining, there are twice as many.
- Maori hangi dinner in Rotorua, where the food cooks underground in geothermal steam pits for hours before you eat it.
- Punting on the Avon River in Christchurch. Someone else does the pole work while you sit back in an Edwardian-style flat boat.
- Waitomo Glowworm Caves guided walk under thousands of glowworms that look like a low-res sky full of stars, except they're larvae.
