For true Lord of the Rings fans, this trip really does take you there and back again. This scenic sightseeing tour includes recognisable filming locations and stunning natural scenery. 

 

This 4WD safari is packed with breathtaking Lord Of The Rings filming locations and thrilling 4WD action. Along this magical journey, travel along one of New Zealand’s most scenic drives. As a result, there are stunning vistas and panoramic views of the Southern Alps. As well as visiting the filming locations for Isengard we will also discover the Ithilien Camp, Lothlorien & Fanghorn forest, Battle of Amon Hen and many more.

 

The route from Glenorchy follows the Dart River to the spectacular filming location for Isengard. This location offers stunning views of Mt Earnslaw. Heading to Paradise discover the location for the Forest of Lothlorien. Leaving Glenorchy and heading towards Queenstown you will stop at 12 Mile Delta to explore the location of the Ithilien Camp.

We love that it isn't just a movie set tour – you also get to see the stunning natural scenery of the area as you wind your way along the scenic road. It's a trip that's full of fun, dress ups, an awesome 4WD tour and some amazing views!
