Overview
Set out for the hills on your Private Lord of the Rings Full Day Wellington Tour. Before we continue on to our first stop at the Hobbit’s hideaway in the “Outer Shire,” we pause at the top of Mt Victoria to admire the views of New Zealand's capital city.
We then proceed to Miramar for the Weta Cave museum tour before watching a short documentary describing the film making ventures of Peter Jackson and his extraordinary team. Next is a compelling exhibition called “Window into the Workshop,” showcasing film props and weaponry, with the artists themselves explaining how the artefacts were developed.
We enjoy lunch (price included) locally at an iconic café, Chocolate Fish, then continue north into the Hutt Valley following the River Anduin, enjoying the views of Helms Deep, then afterwards taking a break at the Gardens of Isengard for afternoon tea. Our last stop is Rivendell and the Legolas tree before driving back to Wellywood.
