COME TO 'MIDDLE EARTH' AND DISCOVER NEW ZEALAND
28 December 2004 - 10 January 2005
Christchurch to Auckland

We will take you through the spectacular landscape of Middle Earth, seeing every geological formation and geographical landscape you can imagine - and some you can't! If you haven’t been to New Zealand before, this is the perfect opportunity to view the scenic beauty that our country has to offer.

Lord of the Rings fans can also immerse themselves in the places that were the scenes for the famous screen epic, and at the same time enjoy a tour of New Zealand with highlights ranging from a Maori Hangi to a stay in a genuine castle... and as a fitting farewell to this unique visit to Middle Earth, join-in a Hobbiton Farewell Party under the famous Party Tree.

Highlights of the visit to Middle Earth will include Mount Doom, Fangorn Forest, the Plains of Rohan, the hill that was home to Edoras, the bleak landscape of Mordor, the green hills of Hobbiton, the River(s) Anduin, the 'burnt orcs' scene and the battle location of Amon Hen.

There'll also be a crossing of the Ford of Bruinen, a visit to lake Nen Hithoel, the location of the Pillars of the Kings, and the Pelennor Fields - the scene of the Return of the King.

The tour commences in Christchurch on 28 December and includes 13-nights accommodation, breakfast daily, as well as 3 course evening meals.

We have searched the South Island for exciting and beautiful terrain to create an unforgettable outdoor experience for you. Full days of mountain and coastal walking with comfortable vehicle travel as we visit the best of the region's walking tracks. The coastal tracks of the Abel Tasman National Park and the East Coast contrast sharply with the dramatic mountain scenery of the Southern Alpsz. Exciting mountain flights and jet boat rides make these trips a montage of awesome memories.
For those with limited time, we offer a series of guided day walks. They are the educational and trouble-free way to sample a little of the magic of New Zealan's wilderness.
