Set in the Wakatipu Basin, this tour offers you a glimpse of some of the most famous film locations from the ever-popular Lord of the Rings trilogy such as the locations of the Misty Mountains, the Pillars of the Kings (Argonath), the site of Isildur's fall, and the Ford of Bruinen. Delve deeper into Middle-earth by also visiting Deer Park Heights, where the Rohan refugees and the battle with the Wargs were filmed. Once you've satisfied your Lord of the Rings cravings, there is also the unique chance to try your hand at gold panning while you learn some of the histories of this beautiful region. Before your return to central Queenstown, enjoy the thrill of 4WD river crossings (when conditions permit) while soaking in the view of towns, rolling farmland, rugged canyons, and soaring mountains.
