HOBBITON TOUR

Hobbiton has a rich history that dates back to the early 1990s. Originally a working farm owned by the Alexander family, the site was transformed into the iconic movie set for Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings trilogy in 1999. After the success of the films, the set was preserved and expanded for The Hobbit trilogy, allowing visitors to experience the magic of Middle-earth firsthand.

The picturesque landscape, with its lush greenery and charming Hobbit Holes™, offers a unique glimpse into the world of Tolkien's Shire™ and has since become a popular tourist destination, attracting fans from around the globe. If you're a fan of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, a visit to the iconic Hobbiton™ Movie Set in New Zealand is a must!

With its lush gardens, charming Hobbit Holes™, and the famous Green Dragon™ Inn, Hobbiton is a must-see for anyone seeking to experience the magic of Middle-earth.
