Lord of the Rings 7 day North Island Grand tour
Hobbiton: Located near Matamata, Hobbiton is perhaps the most iconic Lord of the Rings filming location on the North Island. You can take a guided tour of the hobbit holes, the Green Dragon Inn, and the lush gardens that were transformed into the Shire.
Tongariro National Park: This UNESCO World Heritage site provided the backdrop for the volcanic landscapes of Mordor and Mount Doom. You can hike the Tongariro Alpine Crossing, which takes you through dramatic scenery used for scenes like Frodo and Sam's journey through Mordor.
Mount Victoria, Wellington: This picturesque hill in Wellington offers panoramic views and was used for scenes in the films, such as the hobbits hiding from the Nazgûl in the "Shortcut to Mushrooms" scene.
Kaitoke Regional Park: Located near Wellington, this park served as the filming location for Rivendell, the Elven city where Frodo recovered from his knife wound. You can explore the lush forest and see the exact spots where scenes were filmed.
