Explore New Zealand & Middle Earth
Tailor-made LOTR Itineraries & Packages
When the movie makers decided that New Zealand was going to be the location for the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit trilogies, no one really understood the impact this would have on tourism in New Zealand. The scenery and landscape were perfect - almost as if Tolkien had modelled his tales on this very country. Luckily many of the locations used are very accessible and in some cases scenes and locations recreated so that fans and followers can once again immerse themselves in the fantastic world created back in 1937.
The self drive itinerary examples below all travel through scenery and locations that were used in the movies. Activities and attractions such as Hobbiton, Weta Workshops, local 4WD tours to locations and much more can be built into our tailor-made packages.
Every New Zealand experience we create is tailor-made to suit you. We have hundreds of accommodation options and iconic New Zealand locations and attractions that can be designed into the perfect itinerary.
