The perfect tour for those that want the thrills of an off road adventure but
also want to discover exciting Lord of the Rings filming locations. The
Wakatipu Basin tour takes you to see The Remarkables, which were used as
various mountains throughout the trilogy including the Misty Mountains.
Travelling part way up Queenstown Hill you get a birds eye view onto Deer
Park Heights, which was used for the refugees of Rohan and the Battle of the
Wargs scenes.

We then travel to the Kawarau Gorge where the filming took place for the
Argonath, or Pillars of the Kings. Leaving the Kawarau Gorge the trip heads to
Arrowtown where the loss of The One Ring at Gladden Fields was shot. Near
Arrowtown you will experience a true off road adventure. Following a historic
gold mining road up the Arrow River you will cross the river many times to get
to the Ford of Bruinen. At this point you can indulge in morning or afternoon
tea and try your hand at a spot of gold panning.

From Arrowtown you will travel to the entrance of Skippers Canyon where you
will be offered spectacular panoramic views of the Wakatipu Basin and into
Skippers Canyon to Lighthouse Rock.
