Why does Frodo go on the boat with Gandalf?

He had been sent to oppose Sauron, to help the people of Middle-earth overcome his evil. Gandalf was successful, and he was going home in triumph now that his task was done. Frodo and Bilbo had been granted special dispensation by the Valar to go with the Elves and Gandalf.

Why was Frodo on the boat at the end?

Frodo is specifically given leave to travel to Valinor because of the unhealable wound from the Morgul knife. It is a grace of the Vala to permit them to come to the Undying Lands. Gimli, by the intercession of Galadriel, is also given leave to come to Valinor.

Did Sam Gamgee go to the undying lands?

Why did Gandalf allow Bilbo and Frodo to sail west?

Why does Gandalf go with the Elves?

Gandalf goes with them because that’s where he’s from. He’s one of the Maiar, essentially a minor god. He’s only in Middle Earth because he was sent there on a mission, which is now complete. He could probably magic himself back but it’s not his style, so he travels with the elves.
