Hobbiton: Located near Matamata, Hobbiton is perhaps the most iconic Lord of the Rings filming location on the North Island. You can take a guided tour of the hobbit holes, the Green Dragon Inn, and the lush gardens that were transformed into the Shire.
Tongariro National Park: This UNESCO World Heritage site provided the backdrop for the volcanic landscapes of Mordor and Mount Doom. You can hike the Tongariro Alpine Crossing, which takes you through dramatic scenery used for scenes like Frodo and Sam's journey through Mordor.
Mount Victoria, Wellington: This picturesque hill in Wellington offers panoramic views and was used for scenes in the films, such as the hobbits hiding from the Nazgûl in the "Shortcut to Mushrooms" scene.
Kaitoke Regional Park: Located near Wellington, this park served as the filming location for Rivendell, the Elven city where Frodo recovered from his knife wound. You can explore the lush forest and see the exact spots where scenes were filmed.

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00In June 2025 we traveled as a couple (over 60) and we did this experience with a proposal of Vera Club and, leaving aside the evaluations of the individual places that we express below, we can say that it was an experience that left us a scent and images that will accompany us for a long time, absolutely recommended, also thanks to our guide Cristian and his second Abdel and the driver Takdeini. We summarize some places visited giving an evaluation that is definitely conditioned by tastes and time we encountered: • One night Baobab Lodge, to rest from the long plane journey, before leaving for the tour (absolutely non-existent services, we could not take a shower): or Beach and sea Vote 8 or Structure Vote 8,5 or Room and services Vote 3 or Kitchen Vote 4 • Four nights in Diego Suarez structure Allamanda Hotel, a dignified 3-star Italian: or Beach and sea Vote 6 (but we didn't need it we were always around) or Structure Vote 7 or Room and services Vote 7 or Kitchen Vote 7,5 • Two nights at Antoremba Lodge, where tranquility reigns supreme (fantastic): or Beach and sea Vote 8,5 or Structure Vote 9 or Room and services Vote 9 or Kitchen Vote 8,5 • Seven nights at Vera Club Palm Beach, with all inclusive formula: or Beach and sea Vote 5 Always full of seaweed or Structure Vote 8,5 or Room and services Vote 9 or Kitchen Vote 7,5 or Local animation Vote 8 or Italian animation Vote 4,5 • Places visited in the tour or Ankara Special Reserve Rating 6.5 or Tsingy Rouge Rating 8.5 or 3 Bays by Diego Suarez Vote 7 The reason for the low grade is that it rained on the day or Mountains of Ambre Vote 8 or Visit to rice fields / markets Vote 8 or Lemurs Vote 10 (they're so sweet) • Excursions made or Nosy Komba Vote 8 or Nosy Tanikely Rating 7.5 or Nosy Iranja Vote 9 The roads in the north are bad but, despite this, the tour was VERY enjoyable, and the off-roaders in the red dirt or sand embellished the experience.
