Your experience

Your journey begins with a convenient return transfer from Auckland to Hobbiton, where you’ll board a Hobbiton bus for a fully guided 2.5-hour tour.

Along the way, your guide will share behind-the-scenes stories and secrets from the film, bringing the magic of Middle-earth to life.

Next, you’ll travel to Rotorua to visit Te Puia, where you’ll explore the geothermal park and see the spectacular Pohutu Geyser. This site also offers an in-depth look at Māori culture through traditional architecture, performances and workshops at the National School of Māori Arts.
