Join this full-day journey around the Wellington region to discover some Lord of the Rings filming locations. You will follow in the footsteps of hobbits, wizards, elves and men to see the River Anduin, the Gardens of Isengard, and Rivendell, set in a stunning native forest.
Your friendly, knowledgeable guide will entertain you with stories of the filming, often from firsthand experience, and talk about the history that has shaped Wellington.
Sit down to a delicious lunch fit for a Hobbit to recharge before visiting the world-renowned Weta Workshop. Venture behind the scenes to learn how the workshop has brought 300+ movies to life and how the small suburb of Miramar has become a hub of international filmmaking.
Finish the day at Mt Victoria, in a picturesque forest where the Hobbits' journey began. See the shortcut to the mushrooms, the setting for the iconic "Get off the Road!" scene, and the fantastic Mt Victoria Lookout, offering a 360-degree panorama that shows Wellington in all its splendor.
