6N Christchurch Group Tour | Lord of the Rings Country

Six nights from Christchurch exploring the garden city, the Canterbury plains and the Lord of the Rings filming country, visa included.

Edoras film country in the Canterbury high country gives this six-night Christchurch stay its hook, run from a single base in New Zealand's garden city. Visa assistance is included.

What you see from the Christchurch base

The botanic gardens and punting on the Avon open the stay, the TranzAlpine rail crosses to the West Coast, and the Lord of the Rings filming country in the high country gives a Middle-earth day out. Three activities fill the days without moving hotels.
