Explore the Middle Earth filming locations of Southland on a half day tour from Te Anau, travelling deep into Fiordland National Park to the quiet shores of the Mavora Lakes. Your guide walks you through the scenes shot here, from the Breaking of the Fellowship to the edge of Fangorn Forest, along with the behind the scenes stories that go with them.
Photos with authentic licensed replica props are part of the day, and you will see copies of the original scripts and production call sheets along the way. Between November and March the longer daylight lets the tour carry on to Manapouri and Te Anau, where the Anduin River and the Dead Marshes were filmed. Running Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays, it is an easy half day for fans and first timers alike. Book now for the ultimate day in Middle Earth.
