Adventures in New Zealand
The South Pacific Ocean is home to the stunning island country of New Zealand. Geographically, New Zealand is a sight to behold, and if you’ve ever seen movies like The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, or Hunt for the Wilderpeople, then you can probably imagine just how lush and exotic the country is. But New Zealand has far more to behold than just its rich landscape. I’ve read that the culture is quite the experience, and there is no shortage of attractions for tourists to enjoy.
Attractions for the Movie Buff
It’s no secret that New Zealand is the home of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit film sets. These movies were filmed in Matama New Zealand, which is where you can still tour the Shire and enjoy a few other film-related activities such as: 
The Hobbit Movie Set
- Tour the Hobbiton Movie Set
- Hobbiton Set Second Breakfast Tour
- Hobbiton Set Evening Banquet Tour
If you’re into lesser-known comedic movies like me and have seen the movie Hunt for the Wilderpeople, then I suggest visiting the Waitakere Ranges. It’s an incredible mountain range where a portion of the movie was filmed. The mountain’s exquisite wildlife and greenery can be explored using several walking and hiking trails.
