 Lord of the Rings: safari of the scenesThis scenic tour offers a chance to see Queenstown highlights as well as locations used for Lord of the Rings filming. It includes goldpanning, 4x4 river crossings in the Arrow Gorge (when conditions permit) and a great overview of the diverse scenery of the Queenstown/Arrowtown area: from towns and rolling farmland, rugged Skippers Canyon, to mountains and the famous Kawarau Gorge bungee bridge. The tour offers you a view of the film locations of Minas Tirith, Misty Mountains, the Pillars of the Kings (Argonath), the site of Isildur’s fall, and the Ford of Bruinen. You’ll also overlook Deer Park Heights, where the Rohan refugees and the battle with the Wargs were filmed.
