Our Favourites
This should be at the top of the list for any fan of The Hobbit or The Lord of the Rings trilogy films! It is a mind-blowing experience as you are transported into Middle Earth and onto the actual set where these movies were filmed.
Together with your movie buff guide, you'll embark on a two-hour adventure starting with a drive across 1,250 acres of sheep farm land. Your guide will also share with you how the farm land was transformed into a movie set as you visit the Hobbit Holes, The Mill, and the double-arched bridge, and more!
To top it all off, you'll also get to enjoy a refreshing complimentary beverage at The Green Dragon Inn.
Insider Tips:
- Don't forget to visit the Waitomo Glowworm Caves, one of the must-see natural attractions in New Zealand
Reminder:
- Construction on the Set: A major and very exciting development project is underway at Hobbiton Movie Set and will impact tours between April-December 2023. Tours throughout this period will follow an alternate route around the construction zone and will not be able to see Bagshot Row, including Samwise Gamgee’s home. There will also be some construction noise and machinery on Set as work is underway transforming the hillside
