Day 6: Rotorua to Coromandel

Itinerary valid for tours starting before 1 September 2023.

Today we leave Rotorua behind to continue our adventures.

For Lord of the Rings fans, a visit to Hobbiton Movie Set is an absolute must-do on the way through Matamata. On a fully guided tour of the 12- acre Middle-earth set you will see Hobbit Holes, the Mill, and even enjoy a drink at the Green Dragon Inn!

If hobbits aren’t your thing there are plenty of scenic short walks to enjoy Matamata’s lush green rolling hills.

It’s no secret that many blockbuster hits have been filmed in New Zealand due to our incredible landscapes. Around lunchtime, we head off of to the Coromandel to discover them first-hand.

We’ll walk together out along the cliffs down to Cathedral Cove (which you might recognise from the Chronicles of Narnia films). Beautiful in its own right, with perfect beaches and massive rock arches and columns it’s one of the most popular spots in the Coromandel and for good reason!

INCLUDED

  • Breakfast
