What To Expect
Travel deep into the Southern Alps on a half-day sightseeing tour from Aoraki/Mount Cook to Queenstown. Board your luxury coach at the Hermitage Hotel in Mount Cook Village in the afternoon, and listen to the driver’s live commentary on the natural landmarks during the 4-hour one-way journey.
The scenic route follows the western edge of Lake Pukaki, situated at the foot of Mount Cook, New Zealand's tallest mountain, which towers 12,217 feet (3,724 meters) above sea level in UNESCO-listed Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park.
Traveling south through the high-country landscape of the Mackenzie Basin, you’ll round the shoreline of Lake Dunstan, whose shimmering waters reflect the surrounding landscape in its mirror image. After traversing Lindis Pass into Omarama, your driver makes a stop for afternoon tea (own expense).
Back aboard the coach, see the historical gold mining region of Central Otago and watch the rugged scenery transform along the winding Kawarau Gorge before coming upon the lush farmlands surrounding Queenstown.
On arrival at your destination, you’re transferred to your accommodation if requested/available.

Had an comfortable & enjoyable tour. Our tour guide Stewart has been very friendly & helpful. He had helped to find the jacket which was left behind by our friend during previous day tour and delivered to our hotel. We really appreciate it & highly recommend this tour!
