Heli-Hobbit
NZ’s most
spelling binding movie location tour, a Hobbit tour like no other. Journey with
helicopter in to the mighty Mount Earnslaw, the spectacular landscape of
Middle-earth. Land besides the awe-inspiring Earnslaw Glacier, where the
hanging glacier looms above and waterfalls cascade all around. Return to
Queenstown joining Nomad Safaris for a bespoke 4WD tour of Lord of the Rings
and the Hobbit filming locations that capture the breathtaking natural beauty
of New Zealand. 



 



The helicopter ride to the glacier is an adventure
itself travelling up the Lake and over the hamlet of Glenorchy, the subject of
a tv movie – “Top of The Lake”.  
Approaching Mount Earnslaw it is easy to see why this was selected to
portray Caradhras, a mighty peak of the Misty Mountains described by
Tolkien.   Snow covered and glacially draped
often with a hint of cloud, sky piecer the Maori called it.   Landing in two locations used in the first
Hobbit movie, along the ridge line and then under the glacier surrounded by
waterfalls and ice falls.   A surrounding
never to be forgot.   The ride in and out
will give the Gwahir, king of the eagles eye view of the region used for the
elven forest of Lothlorien and the headquarters of the former great white
wizard, Saruman, known as the Wizards Veil, Isengard and surrounded by Fangorn
forest.



 



Returning to the airport and taking the 4WD immerse yourself in
the spectacular beauty of Queenstown and it’s surrounding areas with scenery
that helped create the magic of Lord of The Rings. See where Aragon fell during
the battle of the Wargs, where Arwen defies the Wraiths at the Ford of Bruinen,
and stand on top of the Pillars of the Kings, You will see the locations of the
exodus of the refugees of Rohan, the dark mountains of Mordor and where Isildur
is betrayed by the ring at Gladden Fields.
