Rings Scenic Tours
Great guide and lots of stuff from filming in place.
Too many tour groups at once (spoiled the view), and could not go into and see Bag End (probably filmed elsewhere).

Hot Water Beach
Cool experience, really hot water underground!!
Kind of difficult finding the exact spot on the beach with no people there (went at 11pm).

Lucky Rentals
Helpful staff although they did not really give us much information on where to camp.
Car (Lucky Cruisa) decent but changes gears solely based on speed - terrible uphill.
