Cần Quan Tâm
Queenstown
We depart from Queenstown and take the beautiful scenic drive via the Devils Staircase along lake Wakatipu to the Southland Region. We continue along the way learning about the history of the area and discuss a nearby location filmed for the Hobbit.
Manapouri
(1 November - 31 March Itinerary only) Our journey takes us to the legendary hall where Lord of the Rings production equipment was stored and where several iconic scenes were filmed. This fascinating location offers a behind-the-scenes look at the movie-making process. We then visit the stunning Fraser’s Beach, a tranquil spot where, on a clear day, visitors are treated to panoramic views of the majestic Southern Alps rising from the heart of Fiordland National Park. The striking contrast of the peaceful beach with the towering peaks creates a breathtaking landscape, making this stop a must-see for fans of both The Lord of the Rings and New Zealand’s natural beauty.

4.00Suitable for both LOTR fans and non-fans alike. Fans will be happy to see filming locations, while non-fans can still be thrilled with the gorgeous scenery. Guides did a good job of sharing behind the scenes stories and explaining how the filming took place.

5.00Great Experience! The only drawback is the amount of time spent in the car, however the reward of what's at each stop is definitely worth it! Our guides were indeed LOTR nerds and gave us tons of great information about the scenic filming locations, behind the scenes facts, and so much more. Highly recommend to any LOTR fan.

5.00The guys were really good. I mean we departed Queenstown talking about lord of the ring, we cruised talking about it and kiwi people and lord of the rings, and returned talking about the same argument. They showed us the places, explained lots of things, and both of Shane and Beau were polite, exhaustive, and PATIENT. Be mindful: take the tour for what it is: a way to see certain places and landscapes where the scene were shoots, on a fairly schedule, in a day. You're not going to camp or stay idle on your feet when you stop. It is absolutely splendid if you have one day, and you don't want or doesn't have the possibility to hire a car/van and camp outside. The guys are doing their best, and they're really good in showing those places tho who, like me, is on a strict schedule, or want to know where those places are before going there himself and stay all the time he need. You won't regret it.
Amazing experience, hassle free and relaxing. Highly recommend.

5.00We took the Mavora Lakes all day tour with Shane and his trainee Bo/Beau/Beaux (?). Shane is one of the co-owners and made sure we were comfortable the entire ride with water, snacks, regular restroom breaks, hand sanitizer, etc. the entire trip. The Mercedes sprinter van was one of the best perks of the trip - super comfortable seats and spacious leg room. Shane was super passionate about his knowledge and experience, both regarding Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit. He also served as a great resource for all things Queenstown / New Zealand, such as restaurant recommendations, hiking trails, bike trails, etc. The trip was well worth the amount paid, as we did not need to figure out which private road(s) to take and where to make the correct turn or hike. There are some short walks through the wilderness but nothing that is daunting or that the average person would be uncomfortable doing. Highly recommend, 5/5 stars. This is still a relatively new / young tour company, so you can really feel the care and effort the guides put in to the whole day. It’s truly a white glove service.
Incroyable

5.00Can’t recommend this enough. Ian the tour guide was not only knowledgeable but also very passionate, which made the whole experience so much better. The locations speak for themselves you go there and you instantly recognize scenes from the movies, and the props, well I ended up enjoying them way more that I probably should have ;)

5.00From start to finish, the Mavora Lakes tour was unforgettable! It was made all the more special by our guide, Ian. His passion for both Tolkien’s world and New Zealand’s landscapes absolutely shined! Ian truly made this tour his own, and it was clear he enjoyed it as much as we did. The route highlights some of my favorite moments from FOTR: Rohan, Fangorn, and the climactic final scenes where the fellowship breaks :( My wife and I happened to be the only two guests that day, and Ian made sure the experience felt tailored just for us. Beyond the films, he shared fascinating insights into the history, geology, and ecology of the region that deepened our appreciation of the area. It's a 2 hour drive each way but it flew by because of Ian. The perfect finishing touch came on the drive back, when Ian played a rare recording of J.R.R. Tolkien reading from The Hobbit. It brought the tour full circle and I can't thnk of a better way to end our tour. This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience on a dream vacation, made even more memorable by Ian and the team at Trails of Middle Earth. I couldn’t recommend it highly enough if you’re visiting Queenstown!
