Join us for an immersive day trip from Auckland to the enchanting Hobbiton Movie Set—ideal for those wanting a shorter excursion without a late evening return.
Your adventure starts with a scenic drive through the picturesque Waikato countryside, with its lush green hills and pastures setting the stage for your journey into Middle Earth.
Upon arrival at Hobbiton, embark on a captivating, guided tour of the meticulously recreated film set from *The Lord of the Rings* and *The Hobbit*. As part of a group, you'll explore charming hobbit holes, stroll through vibrant gardens, and visit iconic landmarks like the Green Dragon Inn and the Mill. Your expert guide will share insider insights, behind-the-scenes anecdotes, and the history of the set.
Capture memorable photos at Bilbo's Bag End and raise a toast with a refreshing beverage at the Green Dragon Inn. The set's enchanting details—from hand-crafted props to lush greenery—will transport you to the heart of Middle Earth.
After the tour, visit the Hobbiton Gift Shop for collectible souvenirs and unique mementos. Complete your day with a beer, ale, cider, or ginger beer at the Green Dragon Inn, followed by a hearty buffet lunch in the Party Marquee. Finally, board your van for the return trip to Auckland.
This day trip offers a perfect blend of fantasy and adventure, making it a must for Tolkien fans and movie buffs alike. With breathtaking landscapes and detailed set design, your visit to Hobbiton will leave you with cherished memories of a magical day.
