What you can expect

Your journey through Middle Earth starts from the station information centre on Camp Street at 8:00AM or 1:30PM.
From there you will travel to the top of Skippers Canyon and to Arrowtown, once rich gold mining locations, and you will learn about the history of the area.
We will check out The Ford of Bruinen, where the Black Riders challenge Arwen and are swept down the river, and then onto the Gladden Fields where Isildur was ambushed by Orcs and where the One Ring was lost.
From Arrowtown you will travel towards the Kawarau river where you will see The Argonath (The Pillars of the King).
Then its time for some fun handling and photographing weapons, such as Gimli's axe, Anduril and Sting.
After spending time reenacting scenes with the weapons there will be one last lookout stop where we will point out more locations of Rohan and Gondor before heading back to Queenstown.

Our experience on The Lord of the Rings tour was absolutely fantastic! Shane was an outstanding guide. His deep knowledge of the movies, behind-the-scenes facts, and the filming locations made the tour incredibly immersive. He kept everyone engaged, involving us in fun activities and discussions that made the journey even more exciting. The locations were breathtaking, and Shane’s passion for the stories really brought Middle-earth to life. Whether you're a die-hard fan or just curious about the landscapes, this tour is a must! Highly recommended.
