We love it because this isn&#39;t just any Lord of the Rings tour! This trip combines all the LOTR filming locations with an awesome 4WD for that added adrenaline rush, and&nbsp;you&#39;ll also get to learn a bit about Queenstown history as you gold pan in the Arrow River.

No. As part of gaining permission to film in the spectacular locations, the producers were required to dismantle all sets except for Hobbiton. We specialise in showing you where specific scenes were filmed. Many of the movie locations are recognisable on our trips and your guide will give you insights into the stories behind them.

Not a lot of walking is required. Clients have the option of staying in or near the vehicle if they wish at any of the stops on any of our tours.

6 seater 4WD Land Rover or Land Cruiser.

We will pick you up and drop you at any central accommodation or information centres.

The perfect tour for those that want the thrills of an off-road adventure but also want to discover exciting Lord of the Rings filming locations.

 
 
The Queenstown tour takes you to see The Remarkables, which were used as various mountains throughout the three movies including the Misty Mountains. Travelling part way up Queenstown hill you get a birds-eye view onto Deer Park Heights, which was used for the refugees of Rohan and the Battle of the Wargs scenes.

 
 
Travelling from The Queenstown hill viewpoint we head to the Kawarau Gorge where the filming took place for the Argonath, or Pillars of the Kings.

 
 
Leaving the Kawarau Gorge the trip heads to Arrowtown where the loss of The One Ring at Gladden Fields was shot. Near Arrowtown, you will experience a true off-road adventure. Following a historic gold mining road up the Arrow River, you will cross the river many times to get to the Ford of Bruinen.

 
 
At this point, you can indulge in morning or afternoon tea and try your hand at a spot of gold panning. From Arrowtown, you will travel to the entrance of Skippers Canyon where you will be offered spectacular panoramic views of Queenstown and into Skippers Canyon.
