Overview

Rediscover the magic of Tolkien’s Middle-earth on a small-group 4WD adventure through Queenstown’s spectacular landscapes.

Visit Kawarau Gorge, location of the Pillars of the Kings (Argonath), then travel to Arrowtown and Gladden Fields, where the loss of the One Ring was filmed. Then it's time to head off-road.
