On arrival at Shire’s Rest, your Hobbiton guide will greet you and take you on a magical journey to Middle Earth.

Afterwards, depart for Auckland to be dropped back to your accommodation at approximately 3:30 PM. *please note from 1 December 2023 Hobbiton will be starting their amazing 'Bag Shot Row' experience.
