Description
Experience the magic of Lord of the Rings with a guided tour of the film sites around Central Wellington. Recreate some iconic scenes then do the behind the scenes tour at Weta cave. Ka Rawe!
Our shared half day tour starts in the Wellington CBD as we collect our manuhiri (visitors) before heading off on our epic journey! Our fully trained guides are locals to Wellington. So they know the best routes around our city & they'll always have your safety in mind.
You'll travel in clean, air conditioned & comfortable vehicles with a driver who is passionate about Wellington.
We love for our tours to be interactive so feel free to ask as many questions as you wish. Please feel free to laugh at any attempted jokes too!
This Lord of the Rings Tour includes a number of little know facts that have taken hours for us to learn. You'll need to bring your imagination as we will be visiting movie sights as opposed to movie sets.
To add value to your day, we'll also provide some general commentary about Wellington & New Zealand. Did you know that Wellington is officially the windiest city in the world? You'll likely get to experience our infamous wind on this tour too.
We check out the Weta Cave where there are great photo opportunities & you're welcome to have a spend up on memorabilia in store. And whilst we're at the Weta Cave, you'll join the behind the scenes Weta Experience.
Wow! Hopefully you'll agree that we've packed loads of Wellington goodness into your time spent with us today.
However as the old saying goes, all good things must come to an end.
We offer a few different locations for you to get dropped off & don't forget that Wellington is a very small, compact city that is easy to get around & you're never too far from where you want to be.
What a day out!
