Things to know before booking a Hobbiton day trip

This is unlikely to be the cheapest option if you already have a car, and it gives you less flexibility than travelling independently around Waikato. Lunch is also extra.

Most of the Hobbiton tour is on foot and includes uneven surfaces. The activity is listed as wheelchair accessible, and a golf cart can be requested subject to availability.

Who is this Hobbiton tour best for?

It is particularly convenient for The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit fans, Auckland visitors without a car and travellers who want a Hobbiton tour with transport and admission already organised.

Even travellers who are not devoted film fans may enjoy the Waikato scenery and the remarkable level of detail throughout the Movie Set.
