  Hobbiton Movie Set

  Discover The famous Lord of the Rings movie Set. The most popular singular attraction in the North Island of New Zealand. We transport you to this venue via a pretty customised scenic tour from the Port of Tauranga. Once we are at Hobbiton, we hand you over the trustworthy hands of their onsite guides who will escort you through this iconic destination set on a piece of gorgeous New Zealand farmland. I have never met anyone who hasn’t come away from Hobbiton suitably impressed in, of course, a positive way.
