Tour Overview

Embark on a journey with FlexiToursNZ, where comfort meets culture in an intimate group setting limited to no more than 12 travelers. Our tours are designed with spacious seating arrangements, ensuring that every mile traveled is as relaxing as it is scenic.

Your adventure begins with a walk through the enchanting Hobbiton, guided by experts familiar with every hobbit-hole and rolling hill. Mind the uneven terrain as you traverse this magical movie set, but rest assured, assistance is available for those who need it, ensuring everyone enjoys their experience.

Later, indulge in a culturally rich and satisfying meal at Te Puia, where the cafe serves a blend of traditional Maori and classic New Zealand cuisine. The menu is thoughtfully labeled to cater to all dietary needs, including gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan options. Here, not only will your palate be pleased, but your curiosity will be piqued as well. Te Puia is not just a place to eat; it's a gateway to the geothermal wonders of the Thermal Valley. Explore steaming vents and bubbling pools at your own pace, encounter the elusive Kiwi bird, and visit the Maori arts and crafts institute to witness the preservation of ancient crafts.

In Rotorua, our local guides will help you navigate the rich tapestry of sights, enhancing your experience with their knowledge and passion for the region.

With FlexiToursNZ, every detail is considered, from the comfort of your seat to the quality of your meal. We strive to ensure that your journey through New Zealand's stunning landscapes and rich cultural heritage is not just a tour, but a premium travel experience.
