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.

Afhentningssteder og tider
Vær opmærksom på, at afhentning kan arrangeres op til 15 minutter før eller efter den planlagte afgangstid. Dette vil blive kommunikeret til dig 24-48 timer før din tur. For alle, der ankommer med krydstogtskib, kan vi afhente og drop-off direkte fra havnen. Vælg venligst Cruise Ship Port ved booking og oplys dit skibs navn. Vær venligst klar ved hovedindgangen til dit hotel, medmindre andet meddeles - nogle hotel pick ups vil indebære møde et par meter væk, så vi kan stoppe sikkert. Bemærk venligst, at vi ikke kan afhente fra alle hoteller eller AirBnBs omkring forstæderne. Hvis dit hotel ikke er angivet, skal du indtaste din egen afhentningssted, og vi vil kontakte dig for at rådgive det bedste sted at mødes. Hvis du bor uden for Wellington City og planlægger at køre ind i byen, anbefaler vi parkering på Barnett Street ved siden af Te Papa Museum.

It is fantastic that they let you borrow Aragorn's sword to have it with you while they explain things to you; my son absolutely loved it. The locations are incredible. I would do it again.
Muchas gracias por tu fantástico comentario. Nos alegra muchísimo saber que tu hijo disfrutó tanto de la experiencia, especialmente de tener la espada de Aragorn en sus manos. Qué bueno saber que disfrutasteis de las localizaciones y que lo volveríais a hacer.
Fantastic tour - our guide was extremely well versed, friendly and had a huge knowledge base. He exuded his love of all things LOTR. You could tour all the locations by yourself and come away none the wiser and disappointed. We came home and replayed the movies and instantly could recognise the locations we visited. Sorry, I can't remember the guides name - maybe in his 50's - runs marathons and has visited and researched Tolkiens home and history. Thanks so much - very highly recommended
Thank you so much for your lovely review! Grant was your Guide. He’s genuinely passionate about Tolkien and the Lord of the Rings, so it’s wonderful to know that his enthusiasm and knowledge helped bring the locations to life for you. And we love that you went home and watched the movies again! Thanks so much for recommending Grant and our tour.
If you’re a Lord of the Rings fan and coming to NZ, I would go to Wellington just to do this!! The weta workshop was amazing and then visiting all of the locations around Wellington where LOTR was shot was breathtaking. Our guide Sarah was so knowledgeable of not just LOTR but also Wellington and all of the surrounding areas. She brought props for photo opportunities at filming locations as well as snacks and drinks for everyone along the way. Truely an unforgettable experience and I can’t recommend this enough.
Thank you so much, Henry, for this wonderful review. We’re very happy to have Sarah among our dedicated guides, and it’s fantastic to hear how much you enjoyed the day with her. We’re passionate about Lord of the Rings and Wellington, so sharing these passions with our guests is what we love to do. Thank you for the fantastic recommendation.
I enjoyed my tour around Weta Workshop. The weather was rainy, but it was still good to look around filming locations for The Lord of the Rings.
We’re glad you enjoyed Weta Workshop and the LOTR locations, despite the rainy Wellington weather. We’re passionate about LOTR and love sharing these special places with our guests. Thx for the feedback
Such a fun day out!! Our guide (Natalie(?) was incredibly knowledgeable and fantastic at getting loads of photos to capture the day- super helpful for solo travellers such as myself!
It was Natalie that took you out. She is such a delight to be around isn't she ;) Thanks for the feedback.
We're big LotR fans, but it's worth mentioning there were people on this trip who'd never seen the movies or read the books (not sure how that's possible, but it happened), who also had a great time on this movie. "Frenchie", our guide, was an extra on the film, playing "around twenty elves, and a black rider in one scene", to hear him tell it, and the behind-the-scenes stories and lore alone were worth the price of the tour. Add to that the official locations, and the tour and history of Weta, and it was a day to remember.
We designed the tour to satisfy any LOTR fan but keeping in mind we still get a lot of people who haven't seen the movies or just bits of them so the tour is packed with lots of stories and scenery that are interesting for anyone. Thanks for the feedback.
This tour was simply phenomenal! Talk about hitting all of the most important parts of Wellington in a day! We visited so many film sites and learned so many cool Lord of the Rings facts that we had never heard of despite being die hard Lord of the Rings fans. The tour guide also provided costumes and props to make our experience extra fun. WETA workshop was a beauty in and of itself. You cannot take photos on the first half of the tour, but Saurons armor was probably the most incredible work of art I’ve seen and I was so happy to view it up close and take in every detail. The lunch that we stopped at was also spectacular and was off of a very cute Lord of the Rings menu. It was one of the best dining places we’ve done in New Zealand so far. The Legolas Lembas Bread option was particularly a favorite among my family.
I have spent 20 years refining this tour ;) Glad it meet your expectations. As many of us worked on the films we have stories and information that you just can't find anywhere else. LOTR is such a great vehicle to show off the beautiful region we live in. We try to make the included lunch a feature as a fellowship needs its fuel when adventuring. Thanks for the feedback.
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!
The record is coming back to do the tour 3 times!!! Marc knows his stuff and is a great host. Thanks for the feedback.
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
