What you can expect

Begin your journey from Matamata town centre. Get picked up from the Hobbiton-themed Matamata i-SITE Gatehouse. Journey through the town and into the rolling farmlands of the area before arriving at Hobbiton Film Set for your guided tour.

Immerse yourself in the Hobbiton Film Set, in the heart of the Waikato region. Seize the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see the only set that remains intact from the film trilogies. Wander the rambling paths of The Shire and admire the Hobbit Holes in the rolling hillsides.

Follow your guide around the set and allow them to show you the most famous locations and explain how the film magic was made. Walk around the 12-acre set, past Hobbit Hole and the Mill. Then, step into the world-famous Green Dragon Inn.

Sample an exclusive drink to conclude your own Middle-earth adventure before returning on your bus transfer back to Matamata.

The tour was great. The guide was informative and interactive. It’s just that my husband missed out on a bed as he couldn’t go up the hills not advertised well probably a wheelchair. Hire would be advisable otherwise with thoroughly enjoyed it.

Our guide clearly loved his job and really helped us enjoy our experience. It was beautiful and a drink at the Green Dragon was the perfect end to the experience.
