Hobbiton is one of our favourite Bay of Plenty tours &#8211; an experience not to be missed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Enjoy sweeping views of New Zealand farmland that look as though they\u2019ve been plucked from a postcard. Stop for countless charming photo-opportunities \u2013 the friendly Hobbiton team are more than happy to take your camera for you and snap your family photos. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s just so much to love about Hobbiton tours.

Incredible for memorial photos, Hobbiton is manicured to perfection.\u201d<\/p><p> \u2013 Heather McMillan <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>An authentic escape from reality <\/strong><br><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Step into a world fueled by pure fantasy, where passionate people will whirl you around the hills of Hobbiton. You\u2019ll feel as though you\u2019ve stepped through a portal into the pages of The Hobbit or The Fellowship of The Ring. When the Hobbiton bus collects you from the cafe and welcome area, it\u2019ll drive you up into the hills of Hobbiton. Somewhere along that short trip, you\u2019ll feel as though you\u2019ve left the modern world behind and traded it for a real-life fairy tale. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you\u2019re snapping photos for friends and family back home or you\u2019re simply admiring the view, Hobbiton is nothing short of special. Prioritise this amazing experience when you book your next Tauranga day tour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Perfect for a winter getaway <\/strong><br><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While bush and beach walks might be a bit miserable and muddy in the rain, there\u2019s one place to wander where you\u2019ll be free to enjoy gorgeous natural beauty up close without needing a pair of tramping boots! With its expertly manicured sets and scenery, Hobbiton is the perfect place to spend a chilly (and even wet) winter\u2019s day outdoors. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the end of your wonderful outdoor experience, you\u2019ll be invited to enjoy the cosiest of settings for a drink. Hot and cold drinks will be on offer to you, and you\u2019ll be free to sip them by a roaring fire at the Green Dragon Pub. Think dark wood and earthy textures of brown leather and parchment paper \u2013 the decor will have you feeling as though you dove straight into a Tolkien tome! Cosy up beside the fire in a leather armchair and sip your complimentary beverage while reflecting on the truly beautiful sights you\u2019ve seen. <br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It doesn\u2019t matter if you\u2019re an avid Lord of The Rings fan or you\u2019ve never read the books or seen the films in your life \u2013 no matter who you are or where you come from, you\u2019re going to love Hobbiton.
