Itinerary
Queenstown - Our tour starts in the adventure capital of New Zealand, Queenstown. Must see views will be pointed out as we make our way towards the stunning Mt Cook.
Kawarau Suspension Bridge – making our way through the Kawarau Gorge you will be struck by some stunning viewpoint’s such as the suspension bridge and the Roaring meg Lookout! Time and light permitting this is one of our first stops on the tour.
Cromwell – On the edge of Lake Dunstan, Cromwell is known for its wineries and hot summer days on the lake. Originally formed during the Otago gold rush era, Cromwell is a top spot for both locals and overseas tourist. Keep an eye out for the giant stone fruit sculptures.
Lindis Pass – Tussock hill enclose the road as we climb through Lindis Pass. Often surrounded by snow, Lindis Pass showcases views you won’t see elsewhere in New Zealand we stop at the lookout 971m above sea level for that social media worthy photo.
Omarama –is a great little spot for a quick stretch of the legs. Put on the world stage by its thermal convection currents, Omarama is known worldwide as the gliding capital. We stop here for the best creamy chicken pie in NZ (in our opinion)!
Lake Pukaki – This glacier fed lake is unique compared to its alpine partners. The colours can change from ice blue to a dark deep blue depending on the weather conditions. On a clear day enjoy undisturbed views right up to Mt Cook which appears to extend out of the head of the lake.
Aoraki/Mt Cook National Park (2.5hrs) – AND HERE WE ARE!
Named after the famous explorer James Cook, Aoraki/Mt Cook is New Zealand’s highest peak. Once here you will have the choice to embark on either The Hooker Valley or The Tasman Glacier walk. If a flight overlooking the mountains is more your thing, we are happy to arrange Helicopter rides for you and the family to enjoy instead. Hooker Valley (2.5-3hrs) The Hooker valley track is one of the highest rated day walks in New Zealand. It’s not hard to see why as you walk alongside an ice-covered cliff face (Listen carefully you may hear it moving) all the way to an ice filled lake with Mt Cook at its end. Tasman Glacier (2.5 – 3hrs) This track leads through the glacier’s old terminal moraines, and there you will find amazing views of the glacier, river, and lake. Mt Cook Information Centre (DOC) – You are more than welcome to take it all in by spending the day in the information centre with a coffee. Learn the history of the national park, ask questions and just be in moment.
At 2:30 our driver will collect you from your chosen destinations for the day to Tekapo
Lake Tekapo (10mins) - This is where your tour ends, as we drop you at your accommodation
