Immortalized in "Lord of the Rings, The Two Towers," the breathtaking scenery of the Southern Alps is also the setting of Erewhon Station, a working farm nestled in its foothills. Witness how much of the work on the property is still undertaken using Clydesdale horses. From Lyttelton, you'll travel a picturesque route across the vast Canterbury Plains, then head into the rugged Canterbury high country. Pause to photograph Lake Clearwater, noted for its beauty and cultural significance, and Mt. Sunday, or "Edoras" from Lord of the Rings. At Erewhon Station, you'll meet your hosts and the merino sheep, Hereford cattle, deer and Clydesdale horses. Learn the inner workings of the farm, watch a sheep-shearing demonstration and get up close to a magnificent team of Clydesdale horses during a horse-pulled wagon ride. Before departing, tuck into a picnic lunch amidst mountainous scenery, then relax on the pleasant ride back to port.
