Creator's Key Takeaways

I was still blown away, honestly. Even if you're not a fan, just the scale and what all they did with the farm area is so incredible.

It is so well organized. Taylor was our guide. She was fantastic. She was funny. She kept everybody on track.

It was very well organized and the food was delicious.

So, a great day thanks to Cruise Tours Tauranga, and I'll put the link in the description as always.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book the Hobbiton tour through Cruise Tours Tauranga for an independent excursion from the port.
Allow about 6 hours for the tour, including travel time.
Wear comfortable shoes for walking and be prepared to duck if you are tall in the Hobbit holes.
