If Bilbo Baggins is one of your favorite characters or if you’v seen The Lord of The Rings at least ten times, visiting “Hobbiton” is a must.

The Shire is reproduced with every detail and it captures the atmosphere of one of the best movies of all time.

Getting to Hobbiton is quite easy, if you have a car, what we recommend, to reach The Shire, is stopping for a night in Matamata a small village 3 km from Aukland. From there a short drive in the green hills it’s is needed to reach the small hobbit village.

HUKA FALLS

new zealand Huka falls

If you follow the river Waikato at some point you’ll encounter the Huka falls, a series of powerful waterfalls. Right before it descends, the river enters a volcanic rock shell that tightens up the river bed from a 100 m wide to a 15 m canyon. That is the equivalent (on a bigger scale) of water in a high pressure tube passing trough a small nozzle. The origin of such a canyon is due to the sediment from lake Taupo’s bottom, that came from volcanic eruptions. The water volume that flows trough the waterfall is 220.00 liters per second.
