forests, and across river beds. Not many live up in this direction, with its
most famous residents being the mystical characters from LOTR and other
movies, TV series, and commercials. Your guide will show you famous filming
sites, with even the chance to dress up as your favourite Middle Earth
character for a fun photo opportunity.
While exploring the area, In true Kiwi South Island hospitality, we will

ginger slice, L&P, and Whittaker's chocolate.
