Tour Itinerary

Today your experienced driver/guide will collect you from your hotel for the start of your journey to the now internationally renowned movie site of Hobbiton from The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies.

On arrival in Matamata we will take a short stop for a photo opportunity under the Welcome to Hobbiton sign which now greets all visitors to the town. Also note the building occupied by I-Site with its authentically thatched roof and round doors and windows in recognition of the architectural style of the homes at Hobbiton.

We arrive at the site in time for you to join others on a guided tour. Enjoy a ginger beer at The Green Dragon – The Hobbits’ pub – take note of the attention to detail. On return to The Shires Rest you will have time to browse at the merchandise store and if required we can take time to enjoy some refreshments.

To avoid backtracking on much on the same road we can return to Auckland via Lake Karapiro and the photo opportunity this provides. The lake is the training ground for the New Zealand rowing and kayaking teams. Rowing World championships have twice been held here on the lake. As we return north to Auckland we spend some time following the course of the Waikato river being the longest in New Zealand. We return you to your accommodation on our arrival back in Auckland.
