Enjoy a magical 6 to 6.5 hour tour to the Hobbiton Movie set, used for The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit film series.
Leaving the Port of Tauranga, we first travel past the stunning beaches of Mount Maunganui, a top NZ holiday destination, then across the harbour and out into country, up and over the Kaimai mountain ranges and down into the lush farming district of the Waikato, the location of Hobbiton.
At Hobbiton there is time to visit the The Shires Rest Cafe, browse the extensive souvenir shop or just relax and take in the stunning views before boarding the Hobbiton coach for a 2.5 hour guided tour.
Since December 2023 you can now also explore inside a Hobbit home, re-created by the film makers with amazing attention to detail.
As the cruise ship arrival times varies so much, we adjust the start time of our tour to suit. When your booking is accepted, we will confirm the tour start time for you, always planned to have you back at the ship in good time for its departure.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
The meeting point for passengers off the cruise ships is on the grass by the flag poll just outside the port pedestrian exit gate on Salisbury Avenue. If you are not travelling on a cruise ship then this is still the meeting point unless you have made an alternative arrangement with us.
