Blue Spring
Te Waihou Blue Spring is one of New Zealand’s purest and most striking natural water sources, famous for its crystal-clear, vibrant blue water. Located near Putāruru, the spring filters water through underground aquifers for decades before it emerges, giving it exceptional clarity and a constant temperature. Surrounded by lush greenery and walking tracks, it’s both a scenic destination and an important source of freshwater, supplying a large portion of the country’s bottled water.

If you're looking for a Hobbit village tour, recommend Stephens Travel❤️
New Zealand is a must-see Hobbit Village! I had a lot of questions about whether to go to the tour in person or not, but I tried it myself and I thought it was a good idea to choose a trip to the Stephens.👍🏻👍🏻 I drove safely from Auckland to Hobbit Village and explained to you in a pleasant atmosphere, so I didn't stop laughing! If you're considering a Hobbit village tour, I recommend❤️
Response from the operator: 재밌었다니, 기분이 좋네요 ^^ 좋은 추억이 되셨길 바랍니다~

Be Aware of Some Nuances about Hobbiton
Private driver and flexibility were a big plus. She was enthusiastic and informative. Gift shop at Hobbiton disappointing in selections and availability of sizes. Very lackluster. Also, employees audibly complaining to each other about workload and shifts, in earshot of guests, was a turn off. The sets and grounds were awesome. Also, despite all the warnings, there was food and beverages available before, during and after experience.
Response from the operator: Thanks for the review but it’s more about the hobbiton movie set.

Wonderful private tour experience
Loved our private tour to Hobbiton and two other places in Rotorua. Our guide was very informative and kind, and allowed us to add on a stop we hadn't discussed earlier. She brought us water and snacks for the long drive and even queued up for us to make sure we got the ideal spots ok the bus. Highly recommend this tour for your Auckland travels!
Response from the operator: Thanks for the great review for us Nicole. What a nice to hear that you enjoyed it. Hope you have nice rest of the days.

Ultimate comfort and Ultimate enjoyment
It was a truly private tour. It was professional knowledge and kindness that I had never experienced before, and the photography and video shooting were at the level of a video expert. I will tell everyone I know about the tour called Stibong. This is the best in New Zealand~
Response from the operator: Thanks for the great review for us. I hoped you had a great time in New Zealand

Fantastic hobbiton village
The guide was good at driving a long way, and he kindly guided me, so I had a comfortable and fun trip. The Hobbiton movie set was as good as I expected. On the way to Hobbiton Village, the scenery of New Zealand is so beautiful that I remember it. I came on a honeymoon this time, but I want to come back with my husband on a free trip next time. I'm definitely going to do a stevong tour then too!!
Response from the operator: It was really great time to visit Hobbiton tour. I also had the funniest time with you as well. Hope to see you next time

Why this scores 62
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Hobbiton Movie Set Guided Tour & Blue Spring Day tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Auckland.
How much does Hobbiton Movie Set Guided Tour & Blue Spring Day tour cost?
+
Prices start at $370 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Auckland usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Hobbiton Movie Set Guided Tour & Blue Spring Day tour take?
+
Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Auckland is not rushed.
Is Hobbiton Movie Set Guided Tour & Blue Spring Day tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Auckland, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Hobbiton Movie Set Guided Tour & Blue Spring Day tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Hobbiton Movie Set Guided Tour & Blue Spring Day tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Hobbiton Movie Set Guided Tour & Blue Spring Day tour?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Auckland can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Auckland and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Hobbiton Movie Set Guided Tour & Blue Spring Day tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Auckland within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Auckland?
+
On Outty we rank every Auckland experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Hobbiton & Waitomo Caves Guided Day Trip from Auckland incl lunch, Hobbiton Movie Set Small Group Tour with Cheeky Kiwi Travel, Hobbiton & Waitomo Glowworm Caves Tour with Lunch from Auckland. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Auckland?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Auckland?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
