Creator's Key Takeaways

Hobbiton is so AWESOME in person.

This is second best. So, this is a third party site, not tied to the ship.

Seeing it in person hits way harder than I expected.

That was awesome. I I want to live there. That place is so beautiful.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Take a motion sickness pill if needed for the winding roads.
Make sure to take a picture in front of the Hobbiton sign early to avoid long lines.

YouTube Video Description

Hobbiton is so AWESOME in person. Here's a little about it. Step into Middle-earth with me as our Celebrity Edge cruise docks in Tauranga, New Zealand, and we set off on one of the world’s most iconic adventures — the Hobbiton Movie Set Tour. If you’ve ever dreamed of walking through the lush green pastures of The Shire, exploring real Hobbit holes, visiting Bilbo Baggins’ home, and sipping a beer inside the Green Dragon Inn, this is your video. Hobbiton is easily one of the most popular and magical cruise excursions in New Zealand, and today I’m taking you with me on a full cinematic walkthrough of the set. From the moment we step off the bus and follow the path toward the famous Hobbiton sign, the views are unbelievable. Whether you’re a fan of The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit trilogy, or you’re cruising to Tauranga and wondering if Hobbiton is worth it — this is your complete look at what the shore experience is actually like. Along the way I’ll share our day at sea, Tauranga, The Shire, and the full interior of one of the real Hobbit homes now open for guests. And of course… we’ll finish the tour in the Green Dragon with a refreshing drink straight from Middle-earth. Come explore one of the most magical filming locations ever made — all while cruising New Zealand aboard the Celebrity Edge. #hobbiton #lordoftherings #celebrityedge #celebritycruises #tauranga #newzealand Book your cheaper excursion here..... https://www.viator.com/tours/Tauranga/Tauranga-Shore-Excursion-Hobbiton-Movie-Set-Tour/d4761-15629P1 STORE—INFO https://matts-moments-shop.fourthwall.com GRANDOPENING15 Promo Code My Amazon StoreFront https://www.amazon.com/shop/mattsmoments What’s in My Suitcase https://amzn.to/4bVsW4D Cruise Items Recommended https://amzn.to/4c30hLb Vlogging Tools I Use https://amzn.to/3Km7cmD My channel link https://www.youtube.com/@mattsmoments2 If you'd like to treat me to a cup of coffee click below: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/mattsmoments Get vidIQ to grow your channel faster! 🚀 https://vidiq.com/MattsMoments
