“Can’t-Miss” Auckland Vacation Experiences

Few locations have as many unique attractions and experiences to offer as New Zealand, specifically the Auckland area. This destination can be ideal for every type of traveler, from solo travelers, to family groups, to honeymooners, and adventure travel enthusiasts.

Waitomo Glow Worm Caves

Exploring the Waitomo Glow Worm Caves is a magical experience and something we always recommend families participate in. Tours in the caves have been popular since the late 1800s and the caves have become an iconic New Zealand vacation attraction.

Experience a serene boat ridge through the glow worm grotto and see thousands of glow worms creating a breathtaking natural light display. Visitors often refer to the caves as a “starry wonderland” or “galaxy of tiny living lights”. These glow worms are unique to New Zealand, so this is an experience you can literally experience nowhere else on the planet!

Tour Of Hobbiton

Is there a Lord of the Rings fan in your family or group of friends? If so, all you need to say is “New Zealand” and they’ll be clamoring to visit Hobbiton. This Tolkien-inspired world of Lord of the Rings film location is famous worldwide. 

You can book a Hobbiton tour and explore The Shire during a walking tour, fully immersing yourself in the magical world of the Lord of the Rings movies and books. Tours can also include an evening banquet, a second breakfast, and other special add-ons designed to delight any Lord of the Rings fan.
