New Zealand, the land of the Kiwi fruit and the Kiwi bird, is known worldwide for their rolling green hills, clear waters, majestic mountain tops, and thriving flora and fauna. With so much breathtaking beauty present in this country, it is no wonder that New Zealand film director Peter Jackson chose his own homeland to film the book-based movie trilogy The Lord of the Rings. Those blockbuster hit movies have added yet another feather to New Zealand’s already full cap, not to mention adding even more must-see places to the already long list of tourist destinations in New Zealand. 

Wanting to see the various filming locations of The Lord of the Rings is more than reason enough to go on a holiday in New Zealand. In fact, ever since the movies came out, New Zealand locals have began to cater to this niche of visitors and have started offering tour packages specifically to the movies’ filming locations.
