The Lord of the Rings Tour

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 J. R. R. Tolkien. Ready to check out the set locations of The Lord of the Rings?

First, we'll approach Lake Te Anau, the perfect place to start marveling at the landscapes we're about to discover. From here, we'll head to the Te Anau Bird Sanctuary, where we'll see rare species, such as the takahe and the kaka.

After this contact with nature, we'll enter the world of The Lord of the Rings and check out set locations chosen by Peter Jackson's team. 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 Anduin River, and explore the forest of Fiordland National Park, featured numerous times in the films. We'll continue the tour at Manapouri Lake, reminiscent of Rivendell. To complete the tour, we'll visit Mavora Lakes, the setting of significant moments, such as Boromir's death in The Fellowship of the Ring.

Finally, we'll return to your hotel in Te Anau, and the tour will conclude after five hours of sightseeing.
