Overview

Visit two of New Zealand’s most iconic attractions in one unforgettable journey through film magic and natural wonders. Begin at the Hobbiton Film Set with a professionally guided 2.5-hour tour through the landscapes of the Shire, where The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies were brought to life.

Wander past charming Hobbit Holes, step inside a beautifully designed Hobbit home, visit The Mill, Double Arched Bridge, and famous filming locations while hearing fascinating behind-the-scenes stories. Complete your Hobbiton experience with a complimentary alcoholic or non-alcoholic drink at the legendary Green Dragon Inn.

Continue to the Waitomo Glowworm Caves and journey through impressive limestone formations and underground chambers. Board a peaceful boat ride along the underground river and marvel at thousands of glowworms illuminating the darkness above.

Complete your adventure with lasting memories of Middle-earth, underground wonders, and New Zealand’s natural beauty.
