In the heart of the mighty Waikato, experience the real Middle-earth and step into the lush pastures of the Shire with a guided tour of Hobbiton Movie Set, as featured in The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit film trilogies.
Fall in love with the Alexander family sheep and beef farm as you journey through the unequivocal beauty of the land, with the mighty Kaimai Ranges towering in the distance. Your guide will then escort you around the movie set, showing the intricate detailing, pointing out the most famous filming locations and explaining how the movie magic was made.
Journey past the colourful Hobbit Hole doors that scatter the hillsides, including the iconic Bag End, home of Bilbo and Frodo Baggins, before arriving at Bagshot Row for a glimpse of the interior of the humble Hobbit’s hole. Continue along the pathways past The Millhouse, across the double arch stone bridge and into the world-famous Green Dragon Inn for a complimentary, exclusive beverage to conclude your Middle-earth adventure.
