The Lord of the Rings Tour

At the appointed time, we'll pick you up at your hotel in Te Anau to begin a tour of Middle-earth, the world created by famed author J. R. R. Tolkien. Ready to check out the set locations of The Lord of the Rings?

First, we'll approach Lake Te Anau. From here, we'll head to the Te Anau Bird Sanctuary, where we'll see the country's rarest species, such as the takahe and the kaka.

After this, we'll enter the world of The Lord of the Rings and check out set locations chosen by Peter Jackson's team to film the most famous scenes of the epic saga. We'll stop at the Dead Marshes viewpoint, where Frodo and Sam were during their journey to Mordor.

We will visit Rainbow Reach, a cable bridge over the strong Anduin River, and explore the forest of Fiordland National Park, featured numerous times in the films.

We'll continue the tour at the famous Manapouri, reminiscent of Rivendell. To complete the tour, we'll visit Mavora Lakes, setting for significant moments in the saga, including Boromir's death after a battle against the orcs in The Fellowship of the Ring.

The tour will conclude after five hours of sightseeing, returning you to your hotel in Te Anau.
