After departing, we make a stop at the Alpine Cafe' to grab the packed lunch that we will have at the Mavora Lakes.

In der Nähe des berühmten Kepler Track im Fiordland-Nationalpark warten zwei atemberaubende Drehorte von „Der Herr der Ringe“ darauf, erkundet zu werden. Der erste ist der ruhige Anduin-Fluss, wo das fließende Wasser des großen Flusses von Mittelerde eingefangen wurde. Nicht weit davon entfernt bieten die Dead Marshes eine eindringliche Landschaft, die in den Filmen wegen ihrer unheimlichen und stimmungsvollen Schönheit verewigt wurde. Diese atemberaubenden Orte, umgeben von Fiordlands rauem Gelände, geben Besuchern die Möglichkeit, die Magie dieser berühmten Drehorte in der realen Welt zu erleben. Dieser Teil von Fiordland ist sowohl für Fans von „Der Herr der Ringe“ als auch für Naturliebhaber perfekt und hat eine tiefe Verbindung sowohl zur Filmgeschichte als auch zur natürlichen Pracht Neuseelands.

Your journey takes us to the legendary hall where Lord of the Rings production equipment was stored and where several iconic scenes were filmed. This fascinating location offers a behind-the-scenes look at the movie-making process. We then visit the stunning Fraser’s Beach, a tranquil spot where, on a clear day, visitors are treated to panoramic views of the majestic Southern Alps rising from the heart of Fiordland National Park. The striking contrast of the peaceful beach with the towering peaks creates a breathtaking landscape, making this stop a must-see for fans of both The Lord of the Rings and New Zealand’s natural beauty.

The highlight of this adventure takes us to the breathtaking Mavora Lakes Park, a truly magical location. Your journey continues to North Mavora Lake, where Frodo and Sam embark on their solitary journey to Mordor during the Breaking of the Fellowship at Nen Hithoel. In the enchanting Beech Forest nearby, we visit the location of a dramatic Uruk-hai attack. To cap off this unforgettable experience, we have the chance to recreate these iconic scenes with the impressive collection of Licensed Replica props, including limited-edition swords, daggers, axes, and helmets designed by Weta Workshop. This immersive experience brings the magic of Middle-earth to life in an unforgettable way. We will also have time to eat lunch there, Leaving the park, we cross a stunning swing bridge where the Fellowship departs Lothlórien on their Elven boats along the Silverload River. Afterwards, we visit a Lord of the Rings filming spot where one of the main actors broke two toes trying to perfect a scene.

We return to Te Anau and conclude the tour where it started
