Subsequently, we journey towards the Hobbiton Woods, famously known as the initial shooting location for the iconic trilogy. It was the setting for the Shortcut to Mushrooms scene, the Second Breakfast of Sam and Frodo, the ‘Get off the Road’ scene where the Hobbits hid from the Black Rider, the Race to the Buckleberry Ferry sequence, and King Théoden’s Dunharrow Encampment.
Following this, we venture to the renowned Weta Workshop located in Miramar for an exclusive backstage tour. You will witness the crafting of props and weapons and perhaps meet the artisans.
At Weta Cave, seize the opportunity to see, and photograph yourself with, characters such as Gollum, Lurtz the Uruk-hai, and Bilbo’s three Trolls.
To conclude the tour, we will take a scenic drive along the bays back to the city.
