Join us for an epic day in Wellington, Middle-Earth's hotspot, with our expert guides. Kick things off at Embassy Cinema, checking out premieres like The Return of the King and An Unexpected Journey. Take in stunning views of the city and harbour from Mt Victoria, then make your way to the enchanted Outer Shire forest, reliving Frodo's journey.

Up next is Wellywood's home to Weta Workshop's movie magic. Get the inside scoop, snap pics with film faves, and snag cool souvenirs. Recharge with a hobbit-themed lunch by the Great River Anduin, catering to your food needs.

Head to Kaitoke Regional Park, a beautiful thousand year old, temperate rain forest and the Rivendell backdrop. Immerse yourself, grab Insta-worthy pics, and visit Fords of Isen where you can visit an 800-year-old native Rimu tree and learn about New Zealand's native plants. Take a picture in front of the Rivendell Gate Tower which is the only Lord of the Rings replica structure in the whole of New Zealand excluding Hobbiton. Explore Harcourt Park's Gardens of Isengard, catch Gandalf and Saruman's meeting spot, and follow the Orc path in Fangorn Forest.

On our way back we'll pass by Dry Creek Quarry, where your guides will share stories and pictures that bring Helm's Deep and Minas Tirith stories to life. We will bring you to your pick-up location, leaving you with fun memories and stories to bring home.

Whether you're a die-hard fantasy fan or just looking to revel in the beauty of Wellington, this tour is a must. Reserve your spot today and be part of an unforgettable journey!

Perfect Day

The day was just amazing. Robbie and Andrew were perfect guides having fun on the tour and talking about the subjects. Seeing the filming locations and learning about the scene making was super cool. The insights into the weta workshop are incredible especially for LotR fans but in general for anybody who like fantasy, sci-fi or horror movies.
