Hobbiton Movie Set + Te Puia Geothermal Valley Experience

Our tour starts from Auckland city centre where we pick you up. Then you’ll enjoy a two-hour scenic drive into Waikato, with a scenic stop or two for taking picturesque photos of New Zealand’s lush countryside.

​Once we arrive, you may spend 30-45 mins shopping in the official Hobbiton Gift Shop and grab a drink or a bite in the famous Shire’s Rest Café. Your guided tour starts on a Hobbiton tour bus with a drive through a picturesque 1,250 acre sheep farm with spectacular views across to the Kaimai Ranges.

Take a look at Bag End, where Frodo’s and Bilbo’s adventures began. Get lost among the hobbit holes and visit the Green Dragon Inn, the Mill and the Party Tree. Listen to spell-binding tales of how Hobbiton came to be.

Te Puia is the home to the New Zealand Maori Arts and Crafts Institute, and the world-famous Pōhutu Geyser.

You also get the opportunity to see live kiwi and boiling mud pools. Jump on a guided tour and learn about the history, stories and insights into this unique corner of the world.

After you finish your amazing tour experience, we make our way through the scenic roads of Waikato back to Auckland city centre.
