Paradise Safaris - Lord of the Rings Tours from Queenstown
Scenic movie location tours
The beautiful Southern Lakes region of New Zealand, particularly Queenstown and nearby Glenorchy, provided many of the stunning locations used in the filming of the Lord of The Rings trilogy. An area packed with awe-inspiring sights, it has also been featured more recently in The Chronicles of Narnia, The Water Horse and X-Men: Wolverine.
On our scenic tours you can experience the unprecendented natural beauty of this part of New Zealand in comfort and safety, with a knowledgeable local guide on hand to provide comprehensive insight into the many film projects undertaken in the area.
The Paradise Safari - Glenorchy takes you from picturesque Queenstown, along the shores of the fantastic Lake Wakatipu and on into the remote township of Glenorchy, gateway to the incredible Mount Aspiring National Park. On the way, you'll witness some of the most impressive and dramatic scenery in the world as your guide takes you on a tour of locations chosen to serve as the backdrop to some classic scenes from the epic Lord of the Rings trilogy, X-Men: Wolverine, and many more!
Our brand new Mavora Lakes trip features a cruise across Lake Wakatipu aboard the historic TSS Earnslaw steamship from Queenstown to the Walter Peak Farm Station, followed by a scenic tour through the remote Mavora Lakes region to some iconic Lord of the Rings film locations.
