Description:

Whether a nature lover, a Lord of Rings trilogy fan, or both, experience the magic of the vast scenery as you fly over highly recognizable set locations from the trilogy while soaking up the immense natural beauty of New Zealand's South Island.

At Queenstown Airport, hop aboard your plane that seats a maximum of 7 people, allowing you an unobstructed window seat. Depending on your wishes and the weather conditions of the day, choose to fly east or west.

A flight west takes you over the 12 Mile Delta, a river basin used as the Ithilien Camp and Amon Hen. With your headset on, listen as your pilot points out the mountains and forests of the Mavora Lakes, location for Nen Hithoel and the Lawn of Parth Galen from the trilogy. Fly above the high country of Greenstone Station, site of the Dunharrow camp and then land in Glenorchy, where the pilot recounts insider stories of the filming to you.

A journey eastward begins by soaring above the Kawarau River, the location for the River Anduin and site of The Pillars of the Kings. Next, land at the desolate Poolburn Reservoir for an up-close, 2-hour ground tour of the location used for Rohan country. On the flight back to Queenstown, see the site where the fliming of the Rohan refugees escaping from Edoras took place at Deer Park Heights.
