Journey to Middle Earth - Lord of the Rings


The Lord of the Rings trilogy was shot entirely in New Zealand with as many as nine individual units filming in remote and beautiful areas. This easy full day tour features the best of this dazzling landscape! Begin with a scenic journey over the Canterbury Plains to the breathtaking Rakaia River. Head inland towards the heart of the spectacular Southern Alps. At Lake Clearwater, enjoy a relaxing stroll for panoramic views of the mountains, forest, and a small village of holiday homes, the perfect backdrop for this alpine jewel. Next, at the home of Edoras, see why this remote and beautiful location was chosen for the epic Lord of the Rings trilogy. Explore this magical landscape and the opportunity to have your photo taken with Lord of the Rings replica swords. Enjoy fantastic scenery in New Zealand's famous High Country, and the relaxed atmosphere and beautiful setting. Finally, travel back across the Canterbury Plains to Christchurch for a short city tour. Special Notes: Please note that there are several hours of travel time to reach each film location.
