Lord of the Rings Itinerary for Your New Zealand Holiday

New Zealand was really put on the map when Peter Jackson created the movies based on the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Not only those who were followers of this series of books, which are almost of cult status, but the whole international community, were exposed to the stunning beauty of New Zealand.New Zealand landscapes and features were just perfect for this series.

Weta Studios..........winners of two Oscars, showed the creative skills of New Zealander's with their amazing animation and modelling for the trilogy. Put the two together and it was destined to be a winning series that has attracted attention to this country......... that was unprecedented.

It is possible to have a pretty good tour of New Zealand based on the Lord of the Rings. Have a look at this Lord of the Rings information and video.......to spark some inspiration.

I had a Japanese language student, who had one place she was determined to visit.......... Matamata. Now Matamata is a small country town where you may stop for a cup of coffee en route! I was at first really puzzled.............being rather ignorant at that time that this sleepy country town was the home of Hobbiton which explained why she was so keen to visit.

The Tongariro Alpine Crossing alias Mt Doom has always been re-knowned as New Zealand's most popular one day walk. But Mt Doom has certainly ensured many more visit to do this magnificent walk.

You can plan a tour that takes you to Matamata, Wellington, Nelson and various locations around Queenstown. There is much more to do other than LOTR's tours along the way, but it will certainly give you an excellent New Zealand holiday.
