Check your ticket details
Dates, start times and what's included are set by the official operator and change by season, so check hobbitontours.com and your ticket for the exact times.
Book your return in advance
The set is on rural roads outside Matamata with no on-demand rides waiting late at night. Book the return leg when you book the trip out, or choose wait-and-return so your driver is already there when the evening ends.
Night trips
Trips between 10pm and 6am carry a night charge. The booking form includes it automatically, so the price you see is the price you pay. If your tour runs late, message us on WhatsApp.
Where to?
Most evening guests head back to Matamata, Cambridge, Hamilton, Rotorua or Tauranga. See live prices on our route pages, or the destinations list for anywhere else in the North Island.
Hobbit Cabs is independent and provides transport only. Hobbiton Movie Set tour tickets are sold by the official operator.
