Full description
Once the transport arrives, you will see some fantastic scenery on route to Hobbiton Movie Set. The stunning Waikato farming location provides unimaginable beauty, with fertile pastures, picturesque green countryside and a wealth of miniature village towns holding a heap of history behind them.
Once you have made your journey to Hobbiton, which is set in the idyllic location of Matamata, you will immediately be immersed in a world of fantasy. You will experience iconic views of the distant landscapes lined with sheep and farm life, and in the distance to the East is where the Kaimi Ranges reside. These areas deliver a true insight of where The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies came to life, and where they first began.
There will be a solid two hours for guests to experience everything that the Hobbiton Movie set has to offer. The guides will share heaps of facts and secrets on the filming of Peter Jackson’s fantasy movies and the tour will appeal to fans of fantasy as well as those that are less familiar with the movies.
While in Hobbiton you will be able to explore the famous Hobbit Village where the amazing Middle-earth stories first came to life. Explore the Hobbit Holes which were dug into the sides of the hills in The Shire, before paying a visit to the end of Bagshot Row to visit Bilbo Baggins’ home. You might also like to get an inside look at the Green Dragon Inn that Frodo and Samwise often visited with friends, and enjoy a cold beverage or two while you are there.
At the end of the Hobbiton Movie Set Private Tour from Auckland, you will return back to your accommodation, having seen one of New Zealand’s most popular attractions of the last decade. You will come away with some amazing photos, and memories that will stay with you forever.
