Save up to 10% off our standard Hobbiton Movie Set Tour From Auckland experience!

\n

Take a tour from Auckland to the Hobbiton Movie Set and see the farm that was transformed into a Middle-earth filming location. Your Hobbiton tour starts with a scenic drive through the beautiful Waikato countryside. During your coach trip your local driver guide will entertain you with stories and information about the region and its history.

\n

Just outside the town of Matamata is your destination: Middle-earth! Sir Peter Jackson and his team knew this private farm would make the perfect spot to build the village of Hobbiton for the award-winning The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit movie trilogies. Take a guided tour and see the picturesque village you saw on screen in living colour before you.

\n

All tours of Hobbiton Movie Set now include an interior Hobbit Hole™ experience, designed and crafted by the renowned creative teams behind The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit film trilogies. Located on Bagshot Row™, these Hobbit Holes offer an authentic glimpse into the charming dwellings of Hobbits going about their daily lives in the Shire™.

\n

See the Hobbit holes, the Party Tree, the Mill and many other structures from the movies, while learning about how the set was built. You might even hear a few secrets from behind the scenes!

\n

After exploring Hobbiton, stop in at the Green Dragon Inn and enjoy a complimentary beverage from the Southfarthing range, before following your guide to the Party Marquee.

\n

Enjoy a buffet-style lunch inside the Party Marquee, adjacent to The Green Dragon Inn. With themed tables, bursting with hobbit fare, dine family style with your group to conclude your Middle-earth adventure.

\n

After your Hobbiton Movie Set tour concludes, return to Auckland, arriving at approximately 3.30pm.

New Zealand has become synonymous with the Middle-earth of JRR Tolkien’s famous books since the release of the blockbuster Lord of the Rings film trilogy, directed by New Zealander Sir Peter Jackson. All around the country are scenic spots that were transformed into sets for the three movies and the subsequent Hobbit sequels.

\n

Tucked away on picturesque private farmland near the small town of Matamata in the North Island, the Hobbiton Movie Set is the most famous of these Lord of the Rings filming locations. Today you can still visit the private farm where ‘The Shire’ was created and see where the movie magic was made. During the guided Hobbiton tours you’ll see the famous Hobbit holes, along with the Mill and The Green Dragon and other sights you’ll recognise from the films. Read about the history of Hobbiton.

\n

Hobbiton Movie Set tours depart daily from Auckland and Rotorua, with options to include Waitomo Caves and Rotorua sightseeing.
