Small-group 4WD tour from Queenstown to Dart River, Paradise and 12 Mile Delta, visiting Lord of the Rings filming locations including Isengard.
Travel by 4WD from Queenstown into the surrounding countryside on a small group tour focused on locations used in The Lord of the Rings films. This trip combines film history with time on the road through the landscapes chosen for major Peter Jackson scenes, with your guide sharing informative facts as you go.
Along the way, you will stop at various viewpoints for photos and commentary that helps place the filming locations in context. Following the Dart River, the tour reaches the filming location for Isengard, where views of Mt Earnslaw form part of the setting. Continuing to Paradise, you will visit the location used for the Forest of Lothlorien, one of the best known landscapes featured in the films.
On the return journey to Queenstown, there is a stop at 12 Mile Delta, used as the Ithilien Camp, described in the films as the no-man’s land between Gondor and Mordor. Throughout the tour, the focus stays on the connection between these real places and their on-screen roles.
This is a good choice for movie fans and for travellers interested in seeing how Queenstown’s backcountry was used as Middle-earth, with the added benefit of a guide and a smaller group size.
