Hobbiton, Gold Mining Heritage & Wildlife Encounters
A guided tour of Hobbiton Movie Set brings the magic of Middle-earth™ to life as you wander among the famous Hobbit Holes, gardens and filming locations featured in The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies. Lunch is included at Hobbiton, allowing time to soak up the atmosphere before continuing the adventure.
Back in the Coromandel, fascinating stories of the region's gold mining past unfold with visits to historic mining sites, remarkable engineering relics and a modern active gold mine. The day also includes a stop at a beautiful natural beach where wildlife is often spotted along the shoreline.
