Tour Overview

Embark on a magical journey to the Hobbiton Movie Set, nestled in the heart of the Kaimai Ranges, where the lush landscapes of New Zealand come alive just as they did in The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit films. This tour offers you early access, allowing you to explore the enchanting grounds before the day crowds arrive.

Your adventure begins with the convenience of pick-up from your Auckland city hotel or cruise ship terminal, where you'll be whisked away in a luxury, air-conditioned vehicle equipped with complimentary WiFi, snacks, and water to ensure a comfortable journey. As you travel towards the set, the rolling hills and vibrant greenery set the stage for the day's exploration.

Within the movie set, you are treated to a two-hour guided tour that covers iconic sites such as the Hobbit Holes, The Mill, and the Double Arched Bridge. Each location is steeped in cinematic history and is brought to life by stories shared by your knowledgeable guide. The highlight for many is a visit to The Green Dragon Inn, where you can enjoy a complimentary drink in the very setting where the film's characters shared many a meal and tale.

This tour not only offers a peek into the magical world of hobbits but also ensures a hassle-free and enriching experience with round-trip transportation and early site access, making it a must-do for film fans and lovers of New Zealand's natural beauty alike.
