Experience Hobbiton from Auckland with luxury coach travel, Hobbit Hole entry, behind-the-scenes stories, a Green Dragon drink, and a Hobbit feast lunch.
Embark on a journey to the enchanting Hobbiton Movie Set, nestled in the heart of lush rural farmland near Matamata. This exclusive tour transports you directly into the whimsical world of Middle-earth, meticulously recreated for the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit film trilogies. As you traverse the rolling green landscape aboard a luxury coach, prepare to step into a scene from a beloved epic.
Upon arrival, an expert guide leads you through the iconic set, where the magic of cinema meets the tranquility of nature. You'll wander past well-tended gardens and under the sprawling branches of the Party Tree. Each hobbit-hole, from the famed Bagshot Row to others dotting the landscape, offers a unique glimpse into the intricate detailing that brought the Shire to life on screen. The Mill and the inviting Green Dragon Inn are highlights, providing insight into the transformation of a simple sheep farm into a film set that has captured the imaginations of millions.
Your tour concludes with a stop at the Green Dragon Inn, where a complimentary drink awaits to toast your adventure through Middle-earth. Enjoy a sumptuous Hobbit feast in the party marquee, a fitting end to a journey through one of the most detailed and beloved film sets ever created.
This half-day tour not only brings you closer to the cinematic history of the Lord of the Rings but also offers a relaxing escape into the storytelling that defines this unique slice of New Zealand. Return to Auckland with memories of the Shire that linger long after your visit.
