This 7-day tour takes you through the unforgettable Lord of the Rings filming locations across New Zealand’s North Island, plus other must-see spots that capture the true kiwi spirit!
Departing from Auckland or Wellington airport, the journey begins in Hobbiton, just outside Matamata. There you’ll find the charming hobbit holes, the cozy Green Dragon Inn, and the beautiful gardens that brought the Shire to life.
Further south lies the majestic Tongariro National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, showcasing the dramatic volcanic landscapes of Mordor and Mount Doom. The Tongariro Alpine Crossing follows trails that mirror Frodo and Sam’s epic journey through dark and challenging lands, including the site of the final battle in The Return of the King.
Another highlight of the route is Wellington, where Mount Victoria brings to life scenes like the hobbits hiding from the fearsome Nazgûl. Nearby, Kaitoke Regional Park transforms into Rivendell, the magical elven haven where Frodo found rest and healing.
Other stops include breathtaking waterfalls, lush nature reserves, charming local taverns, and active geothermal parks! A 7-day adventure to fully immerse yourself in Middle-earth and live your own epic journey.
The tour is conducted in English, so no need to learn Elvish!
