Middle Earth Flights - Middle Earth Queenstown (FLIGHT 108)

This tour includes film references to Sir Peter Jackson's Lord Of the Rings Trilogy. Fly over the Remarkables to Lake Alta and the crumbly schist slopes used to film Dimrill Dale which the Fellowship fled down towards Lothlórien. As you continue across the Wakatipu basin you can glimpse the Kawarau River before crossing into the historic gold mining valley of Skippers Canyon. You land here high above the Shotover River which can be recognized as the Ford of Bruinen, the site where Arwen conjured the magical flood to dispel the Nazgûl. We return over Ben Lomond Saddle for magnificent views of Queenstown and Lake Wakatipu before passing over Deer Park Heights to view the mountain tarn which featured when the Rohirrim Refugees were led on a clear and pristine winter morning and the view Legolas had of the approaching Wargs. This tour includes the Official Lord of The Rings Guidebook. The away times (flight durations) specified in the flight tour itineraries are approximate and can be subject to weather conditions.
