Day 3: Auckland To Waiheke Island

Vintage Adventure

Travel with Fullers Ferry to Waiheke Island. It's 35 square miles of sandy beaches, vineyards, native bush settings pristine coastline, olive groves and laid back seaside villages' only 40 minutes cruise from downtown Auckland.

Take the ferry to Waiheke Island (own expense) to explore the island’s wineries. On this tour you visit up to four vineyards. If you wish, one vineyard may be replaced with an olive oil tasting and/or an artist studio. Your local, wine experienced guide has an extensive knowledge of the island and its surroundings, making your day informative and entertaining. On Waiheke Island, which also known as New Zealand’s Island of Wine, is an abundance of vineyards. Wineries on your tour may for example include Obsidian, which is a boutique winery, established in 1993, with the single objective of producing a great Bordeaux-style red. They now make ten varietal wines, including several award winners. Their flagship wine is a classic blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Malbec. Kennedy Point vineyard produces Syrah, Merlot, Malbec, Chardonnay and Rosé wines. You may also want to taste manuka and pohutukawa honey, estate–grown olive oil, and New Zealand avocado oil. The winery’s Syrah recently won the International Syrah Trophy, the New Zealand Syrah Trophy, the New Zealand Red Wine Trophy and the Auckland Syrah Trophy at the International Wine Challenge.

Day 4: New Zealand Car Rental To Auckland To Matamata (Hobbiton) To Rotorua

Strolling the Magical Streets

Pick-up your rental car to explore the beautiful expanse of New Zealand. An intermediate SUV (or similar) has been reserved in your name. For upgrade options, please speak to your Destination Expert.

Leave the city via the southern motorway and after crossing the Bombay Hills, descend to the Hauraki Plains - once the bed of the Waikato River. The river eventually drained away here, forming the fertile alluvial soil which has made this area one of the most productive farming areas in New Zealand. Travel through this rich dairying country to the town of Matamata which provides most of the essential services for the area. Matamata is also well known for its famous thoroughbred horse studs and is the home of ‘Hobbiton’ from the Lord of the Rings movies. Approximate non-stop drive time is 2 hours, covering 100 miles.

Experience the real Middle-earth with a visit to the Hobbiton Movie Set, the bucolic setting for The Shire that featured in the Peter Jackson directed films ‘The Lord of the Rings’. Your tour starts with a drive through the picturesque 1,250 acre sheep farm with spectacular views across the Kaimai Ranges. Your guide will escort you through the ten acre site recounting fascinating details of how the Hobbiton set was created. The Hobbit holes, Green Dragon Inn, Mill and other structures created for ‘The Lord of the Rings’ and ‘The Hobbit’ films can be viewed and you will see how this beautiful piece of Waikato farmland was transformed into The Shire from Middle-earth. Upon completion of your tour of the set you will return to The Shires Rest. This shared Hobbiton tour takes approximately 2.5 hours and has a maximum group number of 40 participants. Please report to the Shire’s Rest, 501 Buckland Road.

On your way to Rotorua you’ll come across the town of Tirau, known for its antique shops and animal-shaped corrugated iron buildings. Enjoy plantation pine forest and a refreshing patch of native bush, Fitzgerald Glade, before you encounter the unusual terrain of the Mamaku district. Mini volcanic cones dot the landscape, some showing their solidified lava core. The last part of your journey takes you past the gondola and luge rides of Mt Ngongataha. You’ll know you’ve arrived in the city of Rotorua when you see (and smell!) the geothermal steam plumes of Whakarewarewa. Approximate drive time is 1.5 hrs, covering 54 miles.

Where you’ll be staying: Regent of Rotorua Superior

Day4-Hobbiton

Day 5: Rotorua

Lose Yourself in Nature

After an early morning pick-up, journey through the forests and farmlands outside of Rotorua en route to Wai-o-Tapu, host to New Zealand's largest boiling mud pool, colorful hot springs and the world-famous Lady Knox geyser, which – with luck – you’ll watch erupt before your eyes. Next, you’ll set off to Waimangu Thermal Valley where your experienced guide will provide details relating to the massive eruption of Mount Tarawera in 1886 and its long-lasting effects on the local environment while exploring the exotic, seemingly-lunar landscape. This tour departs at 8:00 am, takes approximately four hours and 30 minutes to complete, and operates with a maximum of 15 guests.

Enjoy a guided tour of the valley with one of Te Puia's world renowned guides. As part of the tour you will visit New Zealand's national carving and weaving schools and witness these disciplines in practice under the guidance of full-time master carvers and weavers. You will visit award-winning interactive galleries, see a kiwi bird up close, and most importantly, hear stories told by descendants of the valley. To conclude the first half of the tour you will visit the geyser and mud pools and then be invited to have a short rest prior to the beginning of the evening experience. Traditionally, Te Po is an intimate time for sharing knowledge while enjoying food, culture and friendship. Taking place at Te-Heketanga-a-Rangi (The Heavenly Origins), which is an area comprising of twelve monumental carvings reaching skywards – each one representing a Maori deity – you’ll hear the stories of the past and see how these traditions live on today. Feeding guests is regarded by Maori as an honor and a sign of a tribe’s Mana (standing), and as a result, you can expect a lavish banquet meal during the evening. This meal combines contemporary cooking techniques with traditional Hangi (earth-cooked oven meal), where Kai (food) is steam-cooked by hot rocks in the earth, giving it a delicious smoky flavor. Following dessert, you will be transferred to the Whakarewarewa Geothermal Valley to take in the spectacular lighting. Here, you can wander around the illuminated natural attractions, including Pohutu geyser. A shared outing, this tour can accommodate up to 160 guests.
