Activity Options

Lord of the Rings Expedition

  • Location Access! Place yourself in the footsteps of the actors and access the private farm land where filming took place.
  • Highly recommended! This is only one of a few location tours recommended in The Lord of the Rings Location guidebooks by Ian Brodie.
  • Genuine replica LOTR items! Feel like an actor in LOTR by handling swords, helmets, flags and masks, so bring your camera or video for amazing and unique photos or video. You also have the option of reenacting scenes like the charge of the Rohirrim, or to kill off the Witch King.
  • A specially built Film Road! Experience the speed of the Rohirrim charge as we drive down the main film road. This is the only location in the South Island that this is possible as most items built by the film crew were dismantled.
  • Stunning scenery! 360 degree views over the Pelennor Battlefield and the White Mountains with awesome photo opportunities. Your guide will help you get the best photos so you can go home watch the DVD and compare your photos to scenes in the movie.
  • Personal Service! The tours are limited to 9 people so you feel a part of the experience and you can ask your guide questions.
  • Not just for LOTR fans! This trip is enjoyable even if you haven’t read the books or seen the movie. You will learn about techniques used to film key scenes and discover out what is real or computer generated – you might be surprised!
