Overview

Short on time but don’t want to leave Queenstown without indulging your inner Lord of the Rings fanchild? We got you covered! This half-day Lord of the Rings locations’ tour touches upon iconic film locations and gives you the chance to handle exclusive film merchandise replicas, like costumes and weapons, from Weta Studios. 

The tour has two available slots - morning and afternoon - make it perfectly convenient for one and all. Not to mention, it does not accommodate more than 12 people, making for an even more engaging, intimate and immersive experience.

If you choose the morning tour, you will be taken to the Gladden Fields, Ford of Bruinen and Argonath - Pillars of the King. Covering the areas of Arrowtown, including the spectacular Fernside Gardens, and another equally breathtaking place near Kawarau Gorge, the journey will immerse you in a truly otherworldly atmosphere. 

If you take the afternoon tour, however, you will be taken for some magnificent views of Ithilien and the Gardens of Isengard, covering the magnificent region of Glenorchy.

From handling ‘Top Secret’ props to reliving the magic of Middle Earth, this is a tour you should not miss even if you are not a fan!
