A TOUR OF HOBBITON™ MOVIE SET

Experience the real Middle-earth™ with a visit to the Hobbiton™ Movie Set, the bucolic setting for The Shire™ that featured in iconic The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit Trilogies.

A tour of Hobbiton™ Movie Set is an experience to tantalise the senses of visitors from all across the globe, as guests find themselves engulfed in the sights, smells, sounds and tastes of The Shire™, at the home of the Hobbits™, as featured in The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit Trilogies.

The extraordinary following that the movies have amassed has led to our tours becoming a must-do while travellers are in New Zealand. Hobbiton Movie Set is the only set that remains intact from the trilogies, and that allows our visitors to fully immerse themselves in the wonders of The Shire as they fall in love with the Alexander family sheep farm, just as acclaimed director Sir Peter Jackson did.

Join us on a journey through the unequivocal beauty of the farmland, as we escort you around the Movie Set, showing the intricate detailing, pointing out the most famous locations and explaining how the movie magic was made.
