Fans of Lord of the Rings from all over the world visit New Zealand with one must-do on their itinerary: visit Hobbiton. It’s no surprise really that it is one of the top tourist attractions in the country. The Hobbiton Movie Set Tour is very impressive and it’s rare to have the opportunity to explore an entire movie set.
General Information
The Hobbiton Movie Tour is located near the small New Zealand town called Matamata. It is free to park at the general office.
The Movie Set Tour costs $84.00 NZD (76 CAD/507 SEK) per person and it needs to be booked online before arriving. We booked only a few days before and we there were not a lot of time slots available, so book early to avoid disappointment. There are other tours available (for example, those including food), but I think that the regular tour is more than worth it. It is already quite an expensive activity to do if you are a budget traveller. The tour takes about 2 hours.
