We’re on the last leg of our detour over the Tasman sea, visiting Auckland - New Zealand’s biggest city and unofficial capital of All Things Epic. This episode is packed tighter than a hobbit’s lunch pack! From coffee at the Viaduct to ferry rides, extinct volcanoes, Māori maritime legends, and a showdown with the All Blacks' in the shape of the Kama Te haka.

Explore movie magic at Weta Workshop Unleashed, meet the world’s most chaotic pigeon (we're talking about you, kererū), hike the black sands of Karekare Beach, and climb Mount Victoria. Then it’s off to Hobbiton for a taste of the Shire life.
