Gorgeous beaches and volcano hike within walking of the ship, but for Tolkien fans, the holy grail: a tour to Hobbiton. Knocked the whole cruise out of the park for my wife and I . Pure magic

A pleasant surprise and a wonderful independent excursion to Hobbiton and Rotorua.

Wonderful excursion to the Maori tribe.

We arrived on a Sunday morning and most places were closed. We opted out of any shore excursions so may be a good port to do one. Friendly townspeople though.

Nice enough place. Easy to walk around but not much to do. Bit of shopping or you could have a swim. Would do a tour if I ever went back but nice enough to wander around at your own pace
