Wellington's originale LOTR oplevelse - inkluderer Weta og frokost
Beskrivelse
Nyd en hel dags eventyr med alt inklusive i Wellington, Midtjordens hjem. Besøg nogle fantastiske steder fra Ringenes Herre-filmene, nyd en lækker frokost og besøg det berømte Weta Workshop, hvor filmene blev skabt. Vi er Wellingtons originale Ringenes Herre-tur og har været i drift siden 2002. Tidligere Rover Rings Tours [før Covid], er Welly Rings Tours stolte af at vise dig Wellington som Midgård. Vores fans-vendte-guider vil dele fascinerende historier med dig om tilblivelsen af disse film, som du sandsynligvis ikke vil høre andre steder - primært fordi nogle af vores guider faktisk var der!
Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Dyk ned i hjertet af Wellywood og besøg Weta Workshop, et værksted for fysiske effekter, der skabte alle rekvisitter, rustninger, våben, kostumer, miniaturer og proteser til filmene om Ringenes Herre og Hobbitten. Lær hemmelighederne bag filmmagien på en tur bag kulisserne af en Weta-medarbejder, som vil forklare den kreative proces bag at bringe disse film til live. Du har også mulighed for at tage billeder med forskellige figurer og våben, samt forkæle dig selv med en souvenir eller to, hvis det ønskes.
Nyd en fantastisk panoramaudsigt over havnen og byen fra Mt Victoria-udsigten. Din guide vil tale om de vartegn, du kan se fra toppen, og hjælpe dig med at tage billeder. Mt Victoria er altid på listen over ting at gøre i Wellington, så vi tænkte, at vi ville spare dig for besværet med at gå op ad bakken for at komme dertil!
Kør forbi Embassy Theatre, der blev brugt til at være vært for to verdenspremierer på Midgård-filmene - The Return of the King og An Unexpected Journey. Din guide vil dele historier og billeder af, hvordan Wellington bogstaveligt talt blev forvandlet til midten af Midgård.
Gå ned i de skovklædte skråninger af den nærliggende Outer Shire, hvor vores ekspertguider vil forklare processen med filmfremstilling og underholde dig med historier om, hvordan Ringenes Herre-filmene blev bragt til live. Du vil følge i fodsporene på Frodo og hobitterne, da de begyndte deres søgen efter at ødelægge den ene ring. Du vil se "genvejen til svampe", "gå af vejen" og gemme dig for Black Riders, før du flygter til Buckleberry Ferry. Du får chancen for at genskabe nogle af de mest berømte scener fra The Fellowship of the Ring og få dine sociale mediestreams til at gå amok!
Nyd en fest, der passer til en Hobbit, for at genoplade dine batterier til flere filmlokationer om eftermiddagen
Se en sektion af Great River Anduin, mens Fellowship tager vej til Parth Galen
Harcourt Park alias The Gardens of Isengard. Her vil du se, hvordan denne normale hverdagspark blev forvandlet til scenerne, hvor Gandalf red til Saruman og søgte råd, og troldmændene gik gennem haverne og diskuterede deres situation. Det var også her, orkerne begyndte at fælde træerne, da det blev afsløret, at Saruman havde vendt sig til den mørke side...
Kaitoke Regional Park, en fantastisk, tusind år gammel, tempereret regnskov. Dette blev brugt som placering for den smukke Rivendell, det sidste hjemlige hus øst for havet. Her vil du fordybe dig i de magiske omgivelser og lære, hvordan området blev forvandlet til Elronds hus, Frodos soveværelse og broen, hvor Arwen og Aragorn deler et kys. Du kan frigive din indre alf og tage et foto, der genskaber et berømt Legolas-billede, og derefter genskabe scenen, hvor Frodo leder det nydannede Fellowship mod Mordor ved at posere foran Rivendell-porttårnet, som er den eneste Herre of the Rings-replikastruktur i hele New Zealand uden for Hobbiton. Du vil også se en scene fra Fords of Isen, hvor Eomund blev fundet af Eomer i starten af The Two Towers, og har en chance for at krydse en svingbro og besøge et kæmpe 800 år gammelt indfødt Rimu-træ og lære noget af New Zealands flora og fauna.

The tour was so worth it. Wellington’s weather was not playing nicely, but Marc was an exceptional tour guide who shared interesting stories and experiences while showing us film locations. It is a tour I would happily do again!
Marc was amazing. Very knowledgeable, funny and a great guide to spend the day with. Our son simply loves Marc, and even though we have been travelling for over six months, been on over 150 tours, Marc is in his top three.... Thank you, Marc, for an amazing day
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you and your family had such a great day in our tour. Knowing that Marc ranks among your top guides after more than 150 tours, is truly humbling. We are lucky to have a lot of amazing guides. We'll be sure to pass on your kind words to Marc. Thank you for choosing to explore Middle-earth with us, and we hope to welcome you back to Wellington for another adventure someday! Ngā mihi, The Wellington Rings Tours Team
Unmissable for any LOTR fan!!! Robbie is one of the best storytellers that I have ever met - his extensive participation as an extra in the LOTR trilogy made him an absolute insider… Do not hesitate to book this tour! The connection that you’ll experience to actual filming locations (where your imagination takes over and transports you back to the movies) is astounding!! Highly, highly recommended - the 8 hours passed by in the blink of an eye.
Thank you Philip so much for your fantastic review! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed your day exploring Middle-earth with Robbie. His firsthand experience on the films and passion for storytelling truly make the locations come alive. It's wonderful to know that the tour helped transport you back into the world of The Lord of the Rings. Thank you for your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back to Wellington one day. Ngā mihi, The Wellington Rings Tours Team
This tour was excellent. There were multiple locations used around Wellington, and we visited them all. From some of the River Anduin scenes, to where the Hobbits tumbled down the side of the hill as they are escaping Farmer Maggot. Even the spot where they hid under the tree from the black rider, though this tree was just a prop in the film you can still see where they hid. This was just in the morning. Then to top it off we drove past Stone Street Studios (where the looked to be setting up for the Hunt for Gollum) which was cool and then onto Weta Workshop to see all the props and how they were made for the films even getting the chance to pick up some swords and dress up. And it was interesting to see some of the other projects that Weta have worked on, not just Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit Lunch was included and afterwards, we visited the Forrest where Rivindell was filmed, took pictures and got to dress up and get some great photos. We also got to drive past the quarry where Helms Deep and Minas Tirith were built however since this is a working quarry there is no public access. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and interesting and even had some behind the scenes stories as she worked on the Lord of the Rings films. Overall an excellent day
Thank you Naila for taking the time to share your experience! We're so pleased you enjoyed discovering the filming locations around Wellington and getting a glimpse behind the scenes of the movies. From iconic scenes at Mont Victoria to Wētā Workshop and Rivendell.... It sounds like you made the most of the day. We'll be sure to pass your kind words on to your guide. One of the things that makes our tours special is that many of our guides were directly involved in the films, whether as extras, in production, or helping create the magic behind the scenes. Thank you for choosing to explore Middle-earth with us, and we hope to see you again on a future adventure. Ngā mihi, The Wellington Rings Tours Team

Had a wonderful and memorable time. Our tour guide Grant was so friendly, approachable and helpful. He had an endless supply of fascinating tidbits about Wellington, its flora and fauna, and of course all about the LOTR filming process that I didn't know about, even as a decades long fan! Thoroughly enjoyed my delightful pilgrimage to Rivendell. Highly recommend this tour!

A surprising and enjoyable tour around the LOTR locations near to Wellington. Our guide, Garth, was very adept at bringing to life the scenes that were filmed at these sometimes innocuous places. The Weta Workshop included tour was fascinating and fun. A must for LOTR afficionados.

Garth has a real talent for helping guests see Middle-earth in places that might otherwise seem ordinary, and we're delighted that brought the experience to life for you.
