Your Experience

Traverse the perilous terrain of Middle Earth on this half-day adventure through the filming locations of the epic fantasy film ‘Lord of the Rings’. Set in the magnificently picturesque Mt Aspiring National Park, enjoy a fully-guided tour of this UNESCO-listed site known for its rugged wilderness, mountains, and river valleys.

Local guides will ensure that you are armed with everything you should possibly know about the Lord of the Rings films and filming and behind-the-scenes information. These are people who were actually there when the director, Peter Jackson, cast almost 300 locals as murderous Orcs. Listen to other such secrets as you explore the flora and fauna of this tranquil national park. Soak up the breathtaking beauty of beech forests, winding rivers, and glacier-carved valleys which literally formed the base of the filming locations of the elven Lothlorien Forest, The Misty Mountains, Saruman’s Isengard, Amon Hen, and more.

Learn about the local wildlife of the region and discover sections of the National Park such as the Dart River Valley – a true hiker’s paradise. Savor a delicious Kiwi picnic along with spectacular views and, if you wish, indulge in LoTR costume dress-up and re-enact a sword fight in the Lothlorien forest.
