The experience

Join the ultimate Lord of the Rings Tour Queenstown adventure and experience Middle-Earth like never before.

This unforgettable half-day 4WD safari takes you deep into the heart of Queenstown, New Zealand — home to some of the most iconic Lord of the Rings filming locations.

Led by expert local guides, the Lord of the Rings Tour Queenstown visits legendary spots like the towering Pillars of the Kings (Argonath), the eerie Misty Mountains, and other breathtaking landscapes featured in Peter Jackson’s epic trilogy. It’s the perfect tour for movie buffs, thrill-seekers, and anyone looking for a little fantasy magic.

The journey isn’t just about sightseeing. It’s also a high-energy off-road adventure. You’ll follow rugged, historic gold mining tracks, splash through shallow streams, and take in jaw-dropping views of Lake Wakatipu and the Remarkables mountain range. Along the way, hear fascinating behind-the-scenes trivia from the films while witnessing the landscapes that brought Middle-Earth to life.

No Lord of the Rings Tour Queenstown would be complete without a gold panning stop. Channel your inner prospector as you pan for gold in an authentic historic site. It’s a fun, hands-on bonus to an already action-packed day.

Plenty of scenic photo ops are included throughout this adventure. Snap unforgettable shots at famous movie backdrops and dramatic natural lookouts, creating memories you’ll be bragging about for years.
