Description:

If you're a Lord of the Rings buff, a helicopter flight over the shooting locations is a must while in Queenstown. Glide over the breathtaking landscape of outstanding natural beauty while your pilot points out notable filming sites and you recognize your favorite scenes.

Launch from Queenstown to follow in the footsteps of the Fellowship of the Ring and admire charming national parks, mountain ranges, and river plains. At the former gold-mining area of Skippers Canyon, see where Arwen conjured the flood to drive out the Nazgûl.

The memorable opening of the second film—The Two Towers—features the mountains you pass over on the way to your glacier landing at Mount Earnslaw. Here, imagine the plight of the Fellowship as they attempted to cross the Redhorn Pass. Then take off again and see the real locations used for Isengard, Amon Hen, and Lothlórien.

A helicopter flight over this dramatic landscape provides you with an excellent perspective of the region and a tangible knowledge of Middle-earth.
