Wanderlust Tourism Group Limited Wellington Tours

Enjoy a full-day, all-inclusive adventure in Wellington, the home of Middle-earth. Visit incredible locations from the Lord of the Rings movies, enjoy a delicious lunch, and explore the famous Weta Workshop, where you will learn about movie-making magic.
Your journey begins as we drive past the Embassy Cinema, where you will learn about the extraordinary world premieres of The Return of the King and An Unexpected Journey . Then, ascend to the Mt. Victoria lookout, where you will take in breathtaking views of the city and harbor. We take our journey over to the Outer Shire, following in the footsteps of Frodo and the Hobbits as they embark on their quest to destroy the One Ring. Visit the location where they tumbled down the hill, picked mushrooms, and hid from the Black Rider in the iconic "Get off the road" scene.
Next, head to the Miramar Peninsula and the filmmaking mecca of Wellywood, home to the famous Weta Workshop. A Weta guide will share behind-the-scenes secrets and explain how props, costumes, weapons, and creatures were brought to life in the films.
Following this, venture beyond the main city towards the shores of the Great River Anduin, where the Fellowship traveled toward the Falls of Rauros after leaving Lothlórien. Then, enjoy a delicious Hobbit-worthy lunch at a nearby café, where you can feast on traditional fare and sip coffee, tea, or juice. All dietary requirements can be accommodated—please let us know at the time of booking.
After lunch, we drive to Kaitoke Regional Park, a stunning, thousand-year-old temperate rainforest that served as the setting for Rivendell. Immerse yourself in this magical location and discover how it was transformed into Elrond's house, Frodo's bedroom, and the bridge where Arwen and Aragorn shared a kiss. Recreate the moment when Frodo led the newly formed Fellowship toward Mordor by posing in front of the Rivendell gate tower—the only Lord of the Rings replica structure in New Zealand outside of Hobbiton.
Finally, visit Harcourt Park, where you can explore the Gardens of Isengard. See where Gandalf rode to meet Saruman after discovering Frodo was in possession of the One Ring and where the wizards strolled through the beautiful gardens. This is also the location where the Orcs began felling Fangorn Forest.
At the end of the day, you will be returned to your pick-up location, filled with stories and memories that will make your friends and family jealous. This tour is a must-do for any fan of fantasy and adventure, as well as those who may not be as familiar with the story but simply want to experience some of the most beautiful places in the Wellington region.
