Our Top 2 Shore Excursions Tours Around the World

1.Hobbiton Movie Set Shore Excursion from Tauranga (6 Hours)

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 267 reviews · from $198Our pick

Travel from Tauranga’s cruise port through Mount Maunganui and the Kaimai hills to Hobbiton Movie Set. Explore the Shire with a local guide, enter a furnished Hobbit home, and finish with an ale, ginger beer, or soft drink at the Green Dragon Pub. The six-hour outing is timed around your ship.

“The bus trip was comfortable and our host was very good. What could have been a very boring bus trip was actually fun, interesting and informative. Hobbiton was magical, like being transported to another world. Free roaming here would be amazing, but I understand why that's not possible. Definitely a must do, regardless of whether or not your a Hobbit or LOTR fan”
