Highlights:
Itinerary:
Mt Cook Information Centre – Departing the Mt Cook Village, we should get some amazing shots of the mountain itself (weather depending). At 3724m, Aoraki/Mt Cook is New Zealand’s highest peak. However, the mountain can be viewed without any acclimatization whatsoever from the village which is just 750m above sea level
Lake Pukaki – Travelling along one of the most beautiful roads in the world, Lake Pukaki begins to emerge in front of us. Lake Pukaki is one of the bluest lakes you will ever see, and is stunningly framed by the backdrop of Aoraki/Mt Cook and the Southern Alps. You are sure to get some amazing photos and marvel at the sight that we are beholding. It’s not hard to see why many Lord of the Rings scenes were filmed nearby and we will point them out for you.
High Country Salmon - Farewelling Aoraki/Mt Cook National Park and making our way back towards Queenstown, we stop in at High Country Salmon; a local salmon farm, where you can feed the fish and taste some of the freshest salmon in New Zealand.
Lindis Pass – Climbing in altitude, Lindis Pass has amazing views down through the valleys. It is only one of three alpine roads through the otherwise impassable Southern Alps.
Jacksons Orchard – During summer months when the sun is still up, we often stop at Jacksons Orchard to try or buy some delicious local fruit or real fruit ice cream.
Kawarau Suspension Bridge – Nearing Queenstown, we then make our way through the Kawarau Gorge passing stunning views, the Kawarau Suspension Bridge and the famous Roaring Meg Lookout.
Queenstown – Sadly the tour must come to an end as we enter Queenstown and say our goodbyes.
