Discover the secrets of Peter Jackson's Weta empire and view the stunning film locations, including the Hobbit's Hideaway and picturesque Rivendell. Head for the hills as you depart from Wellington alongside your guide. After admiring the view of the city and the harbor from the top of Mount Victoria, you'll head into the "Outer Shire" for your first stop at the Hobbit's hideaway.
Then it's onto the Weta Cave in Miramar where you'll tour the museum, before viewing a short documentary showing the film making exploits of Peter Jackson and his remarkable team. This is followed up with a fascinating 'Window into the Workshop" exhibition, showing film props and weaponary, with the artists themselves describing how the artefacts were created.
Have lunch locally at the iconic Chocolate Fish cafe, then head north into the Hutt Valley following the River Anduin and take in the sights of Helms Deep, before stopping at the Gardens of Isengard for an afternoon tea. The final destination is Rivendell and the Legolas tree before you drive back to Wellywood.
