The Weta Cave

This is the company who did the weapons, clothes, props to Lord of the Rings.
They have also done props for many other movies as well. Really interesting tour with a lot of information about how to make props and such.

Queenstown Rafting
4.0/5
Went on some rafting down the Shotover River (grade 3-5).
First a really scary bus ride up the mountains but the driver was excellent. Quite a calm trip down the river, had expected it to be more rough, bad for me, good for others. Great guides, really nice and informative.

Bus tour to the Shire in Lord of the Rings.
Quite a big place, really magical, followed the guide through the village still there from the movie shoot. Very well maintained! Got ourselves some free cider/ale/ginger ale at the Dragon Inn before we went back to base.

Norwest Adventures
5.0/5
Began with a short bus ride, then a train ride on a teeny weeny train through magnificent primeval rainforest.
A tour through the cave, stalagmites, stalactites. Then we hopped into our tubes and went down a river in the cave, staring up at glowworms, really magical!!! For the finale, a tour in our tubes down the river. Could not bring the camera but guides took photos and downloaded them for free!!!

Rotorua Canopy Tours
4.5/5
Zipline through the forest, a beautiful forest park.
A little bit of walking as well. Great guides, told us a lot about the birds in forest. A part of our fee will go to preserving the birdlife in the forest and get rid of pests like opossum, rats and stoats.
