Perhaps not as physically demanding as the rest—but nonetheless exciting—is a visit to Hobbiton. This is where the Lord of the Rings films and The Hobbit trilogy were filmed. Now open to visitors, the film set spans across quite a few acres of land, so you really feel like you’re in a different world, surrounded by houses that are barely five feet tall with large round doors. Each house was left just the way it was shown in the films, so for any die-hard fans, this would be your desired attraction. Walking around the set is a great way to recharge and if you get peckish, there are also cute cafés and restaurants for you to stop by to take a rest or grab a coffee.
The activities on offer are really unique and strictly monitored, which is why most activities, as well as the food, are fairly expensive, but New Zealand is definitely one of the safest places in the world to take part in these rides and activities because they’re well maintained and the scenery is spectacular. Perfect for travellers looking to immerse themselves in nature in more exhilarating ways!
