Middle Earth Waterfalls Heli Hike
Walk in the footsteps of Bilbo from The Hobbit, through the magical valley to the Middle Earth Waterfalls.
Board your privately chartered helicopter, experience remarkable scenery flying high over the Moonlight saddle and Richardson Mountains.
Land in the valley to embark on your trek through native tussock fields and rolling high-country farmland,experience how it transforms into glaciers and plunging waterfalls. Follow the track, created by the wild White Tail deer often seen roaming around, learn about the flora & fauna and local history of this captivating location.
Reach the head of the valley where you will be in awe of the majestic waterfalls and the hanging glacier of the Middle Earth Waterfalls., as it towers 1,000 metres above you.
Tolkien fans can walk under the Middle Earth waterfalls, seen when they depart Rivendell to continue their quest and for those who have not seen the film, you will be equally impressed by the surreal views.
