Enjoy a day that mixes the magic of your favorite movie series, the Lord of the Rings, and Maori culture. This guided tour takes you to some of the most iconic structures in The Shire, including the Hobbit Holes, Green Dragon Inn, and the Mill.
Your journey begins at Rotorua. Your driver will take you through the farmlands of the King County and Waikato regions while simultaneously receiving a full-fledged, informative commentary on the countryside. Come across Matamata, where the famous 1,250-acre sheep and beef farm hosts the set of the Shire.
Offboard at the private farm and take a guided tour across the Shire. The private farm was carefully crafted into the set of the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit movie trilogies. After completing your exploration of every nook and cranny of this amazing set, you are invited to an afternoon feast at the Green Dragon Inn. On a full stomach, you can either head back to Rotorua or, according to your choice of tour, head out to Te Puia.
After gallivanting through the Shire, experience a bit of the local Maori culture in Te Puia. Here, you can visit the wood carving and weaving schools where ancient arts have been passed down from one generation to the next. Te Puia is not just a home of the Maori people but also a hotspot for geothermal activity. The area boasts some amazing forceful geysers and several bubbling mud pools.
