Individual self drive/partly guided tours to LORD OF THE RINGS movie sites continue to please.  You too can follow in the footsteps of Frodo and his brave companions through the fantasy world of Middle-earth and the real world of New Zealand.  You will be met on arrival and assisted with the pick up of your rental car.  All your arrangements and accommodations are prebooked so you can relax and enjoy your tour with no worries and you can take your time or add extra activities and sightseeing along the way.

During your quest you will not only visit the sites where The Lord of the Rings was filmed, you will also be accompanied at many of these sites by local guides who were actively involved in the production and who can describe the filming process in detail while relating anecdotes about the characters involved. 

Other movie sites such as LAST SAMURAI and WHALE RIDER may be included in any tour.

Peter Jackson and his team searched throughout New Zealand to find the perfect locations for Middle-earth and, as a result, a tour of the movie sites also makes an incredible tour of New Zealand even for those who are not LOTR fanatics.  You can explore pastoral countryside, volcanic landscapes and snow covered mountains, raft through river gorges, view crystal clear lakes and stay overnight on a back country sheep station.  You will also visit the cities of Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch and the lakeside village of Queenstown.  In short, this could be described as The Ultimate New Zealand Tour for any traveler.
