Hobbiton:
Experience the real Middle-Earth at the Hobbiton Movie Set. Set in the heart of the Waikato region, you can step into the lush pastures of the Shire, as seen in The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies.
Fall in love with the Alexander family sheep farm, just as acclaimed director Sir Peter Jackson did, as you journey through the unequivocal beauty of the land, with the mighty Kaimai Ranges towering in the distance.
You start your journey being transported by bus down to the movie set where your guide will then escort you around the set, showing the intricate detailing, pointing out the most famous locations and explaining how the movie magic was made.
You will be fully guided on a walking tour around the 12 acre set; past Hobbit Holes, the Mill and into the world-famous Green Dragon Inn, where you will be presented with a complimentary, exclusive Hobbit beverage to conclude your own Middle-earth adventure.
Waikato River Trails E-Bike:
Get on the E-bikes and enjoy the incredible views along the Waikato River Trail.

Why is this Chuffed Worthy?
We thought this was a great combination of two experiences that are within 2 hours drive of the majority of NZ’s population, making it a great option to include in our gift packages. With the world wide fame of Hobbiton and the gentle trails of the Waikato River Trail we thought this would make a pretty memorable day out in the heart of the Waikato.
