Tour of The Hobbiton Movie Set from Auckland
Enjoy a guided tour of the legendary Hobbiton Movie Set on a full-day sightseeing tour from Auckland.
Leaving at 9:00, journey into the heart of the North Island, travelling through the lush green farmland of the Waikato and King Country regions. Be entertained and informed by your driver guide’s commentary, visiting Hobbiton, of ‘Lord of the Rings’ and ‘The Hobbit’ fame. What more could you want from a day? Just outside the town of Matamata is the 12 acre movie set, located on a picturesque 1,250 acre sheep and beef farm, where you can visit ‘Bag End’ the Hobbit Hole belonging to Bilbo, or sample the unique brew at the Green Dragon Inn.
Hobbiton is a remarkable place, created by Sir Peter Jackson for his films, but now existing as a living, breathing piece of Middle-Earth. You’re guaranteed to fall in love with the rambling paths & hillsides of the Shire.
