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. The tour will include set locations from The Lord of the Rings.

We will start at Lake Te Anau, an ideal spot to begin our exploration. Next, we will visit the Te Anau Bird Sanctuary to observe rare species like the takahe and the kaka.

After our nature encounter, we will delve into the world of The Lord of the Rings and visit key filming locations selected by Peter Jackson’s team. A highlight will be the viewpoint at the Dead Marshes, where Frodo and Sam traveled towards Mordor.

We will also visit Rainbow Reach, featuring a cable bridge over the Anduin River, and explore the forest of Fiordland National Park, frequently depicted in the films.

Our journey continues to Manapouri, known for its connection to Rivendell. To conclude the tour, we will stop at Mavora Lakes, the site of significant scenes including Boromir's death in The Fellowship of the Ring.

Finally, the tour will return you to your hotel in Te Anau, concluding after five hours of sightseeing.
