The Lord of the Rings Trilogy was filmed in various parts of New Zealand. Hassle-Free Tours in Christchurch offer an eight hour experience that includes visiting Mount Erebor, aka Mount Sunday, four-wheel driving, and a picnic lunch. The scenery is spectacular and the tour guide knowledgeable. He brought the movie to life with his anecdotes and willingly answered questions. The tour includes several videos that give details of how the Mt Erebor location was chosen and the logistics of filming over a period of several months. It was a fascinating experience and one I would highly recommended - especially if you are a Lord of the Rings fan.
The
River Avon winds gracefully through Christchurch central in New Zealand and a
top attraction is Punting on the Avon. For a reasonable price, you can enjoy a
half hour trip along the river with a commentary on the sights and history of
the area. The punters engage well with visitors and call out cheery greetings
to people in canoes and paddleboats. The punts are appealing with padded seats
and are constructed out of local wood types. As you pass under low bridges and admire
historical buildings and the Botanic Gardens, you can almost imagine you’ve been
transported back in history. A must do activity when visiting Christchurch.
