Travel to Hobbiton Today the group will be picked up and journey to Rotorua via Hobbiton and Waitomo Caves. Experience the real Middle-earth at the Hobbiton Movie Set, where, in the heart of the Waikato region, you can step into the lush pastures of the Shire, as seen in The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies. Fall in love with the Alexander family sheep farm, just as acclaimed director Sir Peter Jackson did, as you journey through the rolling green hills on your way to the Movie Set. Your guide will then escort you around the 12-acre set, showing the intricate detailing, pointing out the most famous locations, and explaining how the movie magic was made. You will be fully guided on a walking tour through the Shire, journey past Bag End, explore the inside of our newly completed Hobbit Hole on Bagshot Row, and into the world-famous Green Dragon Inn, where you will be presented with a complimentary, exclusive Hobbit Southfarthing beverage to conclude your own Middle-earth adventure. After your tour of the Movie Set, the meal is served buffet style from a specially themed table in the festive Party Marquee and is bursting with hobbit fare. After the tour and lunch, we will continue to Waitomo Caves.
