Red Carpet Tours offer Lord of the Rings tours in New Zealand. Our LOTR tours are built for, and by, fans of The Lord of the Rings' movies and the upcoming feature, The Hobbit.
Ever since Peter Jackson made his astonishing LOTR film trilogy, New Zealand has become the place that millions recognize as the living reflection of J.R.R. Tolkien's imaginary world.
The vast, wild beauty of New Zealand's landscape stars in the movies as much as it does in the books and has been billed by the New Zealand tourist officials as 'best supporting country'.
Green velvet hills... Vast snow-capped mountain ranges that fade into purple mist at sunset... Lakes as deep as thought with silver surfaces reflecting wide skies, and forests as old as memory with their tall trees murmuring in the wind... Sun on clouds, mist rising on rivers, air so clear you can pick out the lichen on a rock at fifty paces... Cry of hawk scudding home...
This is New Zealand. This is Middle Earth. Let us take you there and back again with a LOTR tour in New Zealand.
Many people have dreamed about Middle Earth. Red Carpet Tours can take you into the dream and it will become reality.
Walk in the footsteps of Frodo and Sam from the lush green Shirelands into forests, across rivers and even to the twisted lava and ash fields of the Black Land itself. Along the way you'll easily recognize the sites of epic battles, and imagine you still hear the thudding of horses' hooves, the clash of swords.
Explore moss-shrouded forest glades surrounded by the snowcapped mountain peaks of the Southern Alps—or fly above them with the same people that flew the film crews over the Misty Mountains.
Go whitewater rafting between the Pillars of the Argonath (chances are your guide there was once an orc!), and unwind later that evening in the same hotel where the stars stayed, swapping tales with a one-time Rider of Rohan.
Red Carpet Tours have been built for and by fans of The Lord of the Rings. We have unique access to privately owned property that was used in the filming of the trilogy.
Our aim is to bring people from all over the world to experience the fellowship of a shared journey to the breathtaking landscapes we all know from the movies. Coming as strangers to this distant land, you will part as a band of companions who have shared a unique experience, exploring the length and breadth of the country that has become Middle Earth.

New Zealand is a long way to come for many Lord of the Rings fans, and many must wonder about this remote country. Is it very strange, this far-away place?
Forget out of date notions like "It was a British colony and still looks to England", or "It is stodgy place full of sheep and dull people, that produces nothing more than wool and butter". If you want to see that New Zealand, watch Peter Jackson's 1996 film Heavenly Creatures or Jane Campion's An Angel at my Table which both set their stories against that background.
Currently, New Zealand is as much a Pacific nation as a British one. It has changed due to the resurgence of Maori culture, the growing population of Polynesians, the variety of immigrants from Asia seeking business and educational opportunities, and because tourists from all around the world who ended up staying. The influx of different cultures has made it a lively place to live.
One of the paradoxes about New Zealand is that it is traditionally a fairly laid-back place where people are slow to get excited about anything except perhaps sport, but countering that is the fact that its very remoteness makes it a nation of tireless world travellers.
In any year, around seven percent of the population at any one time travels out of the country for a long or short term. When they return, they bring with them a familiarity with other cultures. It makes for a relaxed attitude towards visitors.
