2 Days in Auckland: Hobbiton Movie Set Tour & Auckland City

Looking for the best way to spend 2 days in Auckland? NZ GO Tours & Travel has put together the Auckland Movie Magic trip package: a ready-made 2-day, 1-night Auckland itinerary built around Hobbiton Movie Set Tour with Lunch and Half-Day Auckland City Tour. It suits film fans, families and visitors who want a classic Auckland and Shire itinerary. It runs for 2 days and 1 night, and it is designed for both New Zealanders planning a break and international visitors who want a New Zealand getaway that is organised for them. NZ GO Tours & Travel is part of The Shaara Group, and we plan trips for national and international travellers every day.

Is 2 days in Auckland enough?

Yes, if the days are planned well. A short break in Auckland works best when you choose a small number of standout experiences instead of trying to do everything. This NZ GO Tours & Travel package does exactly that: two experiences across the trip and a night in Auckland to rest. It answers a question travellers often ask when they search for things to do in Auckland: "what is worth doing if I only have a couple of days?"

Day 1: Hobbiton Movie Set Tour with Lunch

This is a small-group tour of the Shire, lunch included, departing Auckland. Anyone searching for a Hobbiton tour from Auckland will recognise this as the headline experience of the trip, with the transport side taken care of.

You hit the landmarks and lookouts of the City of Sails with a local guide. A guided half-day city tour is the quickest way to get your bearings and see the main Auckland sights. Timings are confirmed at booking, and NZ GO Tours & Travel will help you fit this day around the rest of your trip.

Where do you stay?

The package includes 1 night of accommodation in Auckland. Accommodation depends on the season and availability, so NZ GO Tours & Travel confirms it once you send an enquiry. Keeping your stay and your experiences in the same place means less time spent organising transport between them.

When is the best time to book Auckland?

Tips for planning your Auckland trip

• Send your dates early. Stays and experiences depend on season and availability, so the sooner NZ GO Tours & Travel knows your dates, the easier it is to confirm everything.
• Do your own homework too. We recommend that you check the details of each experience yourself, including operator information, timings and any requirements, before you travel.
• Allow some flexibility. Weather can affect outdoor experiences, so avoid planning tight connections on the day you travel home.
• Tell us what matters most. Whether it is a special occasion, a budget, travelling with children or a particular interest, NZ GO Tours & Travel can tailor the Auckland trip around it.

Travelling from another NZ city or from overseas?

This is where NZ GO Tours & Travel is different from a standard tour listing. We look after national and international customers. If you live in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch or anywhere else in New Zealand, or you are visiting from overseas, tell us where you are starting from. NZ GO Tours & Travel can add flights, shuttles and transfers, including arrival transfers for international travellers, so your whole trip to Auckland and home again is planned in one place.
