Journey beyond Queenstown to Glenorchy and Paradise on this private, guided half-day tour — a scenic escape into some of the South Island's most breathtaking alpine wilderness. Travelling along the shores of Lake Wakatipu, you'll take in spectacular panoramic views before arriving in the tranquil settlement of Glenorchy, gateway to the Dart River valley.
Continue on into Paradise, where snow-capped peaks, dense beech forest and pristine rivers create scenery so striking it's served as an iconic backdrop for The Lord of the Rings trilogy. With flexible stops along the way and a knowledgeable local driver guide, this is an ideal introduction to the wild beauty that lies just beyond Queenstown — without the need for a full day.
For those wanting to add a taste of Central Otago to their journey, an optional wine tasting is available for $30 per person.
