Take a guided tour of the Hobbiton Movie Set and learn how this picturesque farmland was transformed into a living, breathing piece of Middle Earth. Your guide will show you Hobbit holes, the Green Dragon Inn, the Party Tree, the Mill, and many other structures from the movies. You will also be able to venture beyond the door into an authentic Hobbit Hole interior on Bagshot Row. Then enjoy a tasty lunch at The Party Marquee before making your way back to Rotorua.

We had a wonderful time on this travel excursion. We love 'The Lord of the Rings,' and this experience was everything I had hoped for.

The whole site and how detailed it was was way more than I expected…phenomenal!! The guides also had many tidbits to share about the set and the filming. Navigating the set was a bit challenging for someone with a cane and mobility issues, but I managed. Where it was steep and there were steps a railing would have been helpful.

Ngata our tour bus driver was awesome. He loves his dad jokes ☺️ The whole Hobbiton experience was fantastic. The buffet lunch was exceptional we walked away with full bellies after the massive feed we needed a nanny nap. I’ll definitely be doing it again with the rest of the family.
