  • Queenstown
    We depart from Queenstown and take the beautiful scenic drive via the Devils Staircase along lake Wakatipu to the Southland Region. We continue along the way learning about the history of the area and discuss a nearby location filmed for the Hobbit.
  • Manapouri
    (1 November - 31 March Itinerary only) Our journey takes us to the legendary hall where Lord of the Rings production equipment was stored and where several iconic scenes were filmed. This fascinating location offers a behind-the-scenes look at the movie-making process. We then visit the stunning Fraser’s Beach, a tranquil spot where, on a clear day, visitors are treated to panoramic views of the majestic Southern Alps rising from the heart of Fiordland National Park. The striking contrast of the peaceful beach with the towering peaks creates a breathtaking landscape, making this stop a must-see for fans of both The Lord of the Rings and New Zealand’s natural beauty.

    (1 November - 31 March Itinerary only) Nestled close to the iconic Kepler Track in Fiordland National Park, two stunning Lord of the Rings filming locations are waiting to be explored.

These breathtaking sites, surrounded by Fiordland’s rugged terrain, give visitors a chance to experience the real-world magic of these famous filming locations.

  • Te Anau
    (1 November - 31 March Itinerary only) We make a stop at Te Anau, the vibrant tourism hub of the Southland Region and the gateway to Fiordland National Park. Nestled along the shores of New Zealand's second-largest lake, and the largest by water volume, offering a tranquil setting with breathtaking views. During our lunch break, you’ll have the chance to soak in the serene beauty of the lake, while the majestic Southern Alps loom in the distance, creating a perfect backdrop for relaxation. This peaceful pause allows us to fully appreciate the stunning landscapes that make Fiordland and the surrounding areas so unique.
  • Mavora Lakes Park
    The highlight of this adventure takes us to the breathtaking Mavora Lakes Park, a truly magical location. Before entering, we visit a Lord of the Rings filming spot where one of the main actors broke two toes trying to perfect a scene. Entering the park, we begin at South Mavora Lake, here we cross a stunning swing bridge where the Fellowship departs Lothlórien on their Elven boats along the Silverload River. Our journey continues to North Mavora Lake, where Frodo and Sam embark on their solitary journey to Mordor during the Breaking of the Fellowship at Nen Hithoel. In the enchanting Beech Forest nearby, we visit the location of a dramatic Uruk-hai attack. To cap off this unforgettable experience, we have the chance to recreate these iconic scenes with our impressive collection of Licensed Replica props, including limited-edition swords, daggers, axes, and helmets designed by Weta Workshop.
