Enjoy a magical 6 to 6.5 hour tour to the Hobbiton Movie set, used for The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit film series.

Leaving the Port of Tauranga, we first travel past the stunning beaches of Mount Maunganui, a top NZ holiday destination, then across the harbour and out into country, up and over the Kaimai mountain ranges and down into the lush farming district of the Waikato, the location of Hobbiton.

At Hobbiton there is time to visit the The Shires Rest Cafe, browse the extensive souvenir shop or just relax and take in the stunning views before boarding the Hobbiton coach for a 2.5 hour guided tour.

Since December 2023 you can now also explore inside a Hobbit home, re-created by the film makers with amazing attention to detail.

    Modest amount of walking up and down hills. Excellent inside tour of a hobbit house. Loved the Green Dragon Pub and the beers!

    This was a Top 3 excursion for us. Andy did a great job guiding and driving us to Hobbiton and back. Hobbiton itself was simply amazing. The attention to detail in creating and decorating the Hobbit houses was fantastic. We’ve visited a number of other movie sets over the years, and this one takes the prize for excellent guest experience. Our Hobbiton tour guide, Nathaniel, did an outstanding job, imparting a lot of information about the set and the movies with great humor. Highly recommend this tour!

    It was surprisingly not crowded. They have the timing perfected. The grounds were spectacular and well manicured.
