Description

Discover the magic of Middle-earth and the beauty of world-class gardens on this full-day tour from Auckland. Explore the Hobbiton Movie Set and Hamilton Gardens, and enjoy a scenic drive through the lush countryside of New Zealand. Begin your adventure with a morning pickup from your Auckland CBD hotel, followed by a scenic drive through New Zealand’s lush countryside to two of the region's most iconic destinations. Your first stop is the world-famous Hobbiton Movie Set, nestled in the rolling green hills of Matamata. Join an expert guide for a fully narrated tour of the 12-acre movie set, where you’ll explore the whimsical Hobbit holes, the Party Tree, the Mill, and other famous locations from The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies. As you wander through the beautifully crafted set, your guide will share fascinating stories and behind-the-scenes insights from the films. Complete your experience with a complimentary drink at the cozy Green Dragon Inn, where you can relax and take in the magical surroundings. After your Hobbiton adventure, continue to the award-winning Hamilton Gardens, one of New Zealand's premier garden destinations.

Explore the stunning Paradise Garden Collection, which includes the Italian Renaissance Garden, the serene Japanese Garden of Contemplation, and the vibrant Indian Char Bagh Garden. Stroll through the Fantasy Collection, featuring whimsical creations like the Surrealist Garden, or lose yourself in the beauty of the traditional English Garden. Your visit to Hamilton Gardens will be guided, giving you insight into the rich history and cultural significance of these beautifully designed spaces.
