Every Lord of the Rings fan knows that much of the movie was shot here in New Zealand, but did you know you can actually go visit one of the movie sets? Today, we’re headed off to the shire. Let’s go. So, welcome to Hobbiton, guys. We’re going to gather just around over here and talk about some interesting facts.
Hobbiton Movie Set Tour from Rotorua New Zealand Photo Gallery
Here in Hobbiton, there are over 40 crafted Hobbit holes. The details are fantastic! And just the scenery is outstanding. You don’t even need to see the movie to enjoy how beautiful this little world is. Okay, didn’t see you there. Welcome to my crib. Whoa! It was an amazing experience. It was just so pretty, and it makes me really want to watch the movies again. You know where Gandalf sets off that big cart of fireworks and everybody’s celebrating and dancing? This is the field. And it is right by Samwise’s house. Hyahh, hyahh! I have the cutest horse.
Woo, it’s hot out here. Let’s get a drink at the Green Dragon. I want two of the local beers, please. Sure. And you got to see everything. And how authentic it was, and how knowledgeable the tour guide was. It was everything I could have hoped for. It as fantastic! Mmmm! And as you’d expect, of course there is a gift shop. If you want to take anything home from Hobbiton, this is the place to get it. I don’t know if you noticed, but I did my hair like Legolas today.
So we’re like twinsies. And after a short bus trip, we are back here in Rotorua, and our adventure has come to a close. Today was wonderful! What a great way to experience a little bit of Lord of the Rings here in New Zealand.
