Meet your guides from your preferred Wellington location and head for the hills. Admire the view from atop Mt Victoria before heading into the “Outer Shire” for your first stop.

Then it’s on to the Weta Cave in Miramar where you tour the museum before viewing a short documentary showing the film making exploits of Sir Peter Jackson and his remarkable team. This is followed by a fascinating “Window into the Workshop” exhibition, showing film props and weaponry with the artists themselves describing how the artefacts were created.

Enjoy lunch at a favourite local spot then head north to the Hutt Valley following the River Anduin and take in the sights of Helms Deep. Stop off at the Gardens of Isengard before heading to your final destination of Rivendell and the Legolas tree before returning to Wellywood at 4pm.
