The Deluxe Middle Earth Tour
A unique and exciting full day.
Extending the Middle Earth Filming Locations tour with the exhilaration of a helicopter trip over the amazing limestone formations that formed Dimholt Road (the army of the dead).
Continue your helicopter trip to a winery where you enjoy a superb lunch by the vines before another helicopter trip - this one to the filming sites for Lothlorien (the White Bridge is there and a great photo opportunity) and Beside the Gladden Fields where Seagol fought with Deagol. Both locations are situated at the elegant and beautiful Fernside Lodge in the Wairarapa. Our tour has exclusive access to that site and you will be served a gourmet picnic at the White Bridge of Lothlorien - one of the few remaining structures used in the filming.
You will travel by road and visit the filming locations for Rivendell where Frodo recovered from his knife attack; the Anduin River where Aragorn was washed ashore after the attack of the Wargs; the Gardens of Isengard, the site of the Orcs Felling the Trees and where Gandalf rode to see Saruman; go to the Mount Victoria lookout and Hobbiton Woods where you can race to the Ferry and get off the Road; Buckland Forest where the Hobbits hid from the Nazgul/Black Riders and where they found the mushrooms on the Road; Dunharrow Rohirrim encampment; visit the quarry for the filming of Helms Deep the fortified ravine in Rohan and Minas Tirith; the location of Bree.
End the day in the district of Miramar. Miramar is production central and the home of Peter Jackson and many of the cast and crew.
Your host will return you to your Wellington city accomodation.
