Gollum and family zip into Queenstown

It was fun for all the family when Lord of the Rings and Hobbit actor Andy Serkis who plays Gollum/Smeagol zipped into Queenstown on Sunday (23 October) with Ziptrek Ecotours.

The actor and his family took part in the exhilarating Kea 6-Line Tour which features the world's steepest tree to tree flying fox. A new system allowing a reduced weight limit of 30kg meant Andy’s children were able to join him and his wife on the fun and exciting ecotour.

The family was in Queenstown while taking a break from filming The Hobbit.
