Things to do in Hobbiton Movie Set

Started the day with Chris 6.20am at sky city hotel entrance. He is a friendly expert driver who drove us to Hobbiton and handed us to Rob who was our guide at Hobbiton. We had ginger beer which has no alcohol. He shared stories which made the tour more interesting. We were lucky to have them.

The highlight of our short North Island Trip! highly recommended to anyone visiting New Zealand with limited time & or not keen on driving yourself to Rotorua. The guide/driver was very attentive & accomodating. We never felt rushed during the tour even though we were on time limit. I tried the lamb pie that the guide recommended and it turns out to be the best pie I’ve had in NZ!

Tour guide Christ is quite enthusiastic and dedicated. Picked up at the pick up point on time. The program takes about 12 hours. Suitable for those who do not have much time in the North Island and want to visit the main attractions in the North Island

What a wonderful experience for fans of the LOTR and The Hobbit. Ticketing was easy with Klook and from there, the guided tour took us about 2 hours with 1 complimentary serving of beverage (alcoholic or non-alcoholic)

We had an amazing experience with Auckland and Beyond Tours on the Hobbiton tour! Our driver, Simon, was fantastic—friendly, punctual, and incredibly informative. He went above and beyond, providing us with water and snacks to keep us comfortable throughout the journey. Everything was seamless, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Highly recommend this company and Simon for anyone looking for a memorable tour!

The views are amazing at the Hobbiton Movie Set. It is a magical experience for Middle-earth fans & film enthusiasts. The Te Puia Māori Arts & Cultural Institute is an iconic centre that showcases the rich heritage and traditions of New Zealand's indigenous people. Both places are a must-go for visitors of North Island.

Whether you are a Lord of the Rings fan or not dont skip this amazing experience. You will fall in love with the setting and entire creativity of the setup. If you are LOTR fan then as you can imagine this is paradise and worth every penny.

I had an incredible time on this tour! The Hobbiton movie set was even more magical in person, and our guide shared fascinating insights into the filming process. A must-do for any LOTR fan! The Waitomo Caves were simply breathtaking, with thousands of glowing glowworms illuminating the underground caverns.
