Tour Overview

Embark on a full-day journey from Auckland to the enchanting Hobbiton Movie Set, a pivotal filming location for the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit trilogies. Your adventure starts with a convenient pickup from your hotel in Auckland Central, where a friendly guide awaits to transport you through the rolling landscapes of the Waikato region.

The drive itself offers a preview of New Zealand's lush countryside, punctuated by the Kaimai Ranges in the distance, setting the stage for the cinematic wonder of Hobbiton. Upon arrival, step into the real Middle-earth as you begin your 2.5-hour guided tour. Explore the meticulously crafted hobbit holes and discover authentic props used in the making of the films. The attention to detail in every corner of this expansive set highlights the dedication and creativity behind the epic fantasy series.

A highlight of your visit will be the iconic Green Dragon Inn. Here, you can enjoy a complimentary beverage, alcoholic or non-alcoholic, in the very location where scenes from the beloved films were shot. The atmosphere, combined with the architecture of the inn, transports you into the world of the hobbits, making it more than just a visual experience but a step into another reality.

After soaking in the magic of Hobbiton, relax as your guide drives you back to Auckland, filled with lasting memories of a world brought to life from the pages of cinema history. This tour not only captures the essence of the famous film series but also provides a glimpse into the picturesque rural New Zealand landscape, making it a unique addition to any travel itinerary.
