Overview

  • Travel in 4x4 from Queenstown along the shores of Lake Whakatipu on one of New Zealand's most spectacular scenic drives, surrounded by the Southern Alps, glacial valleys, braided rivers and native beech forest. Visit 12 Mile Delta then enjoy a 15 minute scenic walk.
    Journey through Glenorchy and Paradise to discover filming locations associated with Isengard, Fangorn Forest, Ithilien Camp and the Battle of Amon Hen. Travel towards Paradise with views of Mt Earnslaw, and venture into the Forest of Lothlórien.
    Dress up in replica cloaks, pose with film props and let your local guide connect the landscapes to the films with film imagery, behind-the-scenes stories and filming insights.
    The area has also appeared in The Hobbit, The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian and X-Men Origins: Wolverine, making this a fantastic experience for film fans and scenery lovers alike.
