Description

Embark on a beautiful journey from Queenstown to Aoraki Mount Cook. Your day starts with a morning pick-up from your hotel or accommodation anywhere within Queenstown city. As we drive towards Mount Cook, enjoy the flexibility to briefly stop for washroom breaks or food or photos. Passing by charming places like the Kawarau Suspension Bridge, Roaring Meg, and Cromwell, enjoy a photo stop at Lindis Pass and a brunch stop at Omarama. You'll not only enjoy the scenic views but also soak in the history of these locations. As we approach Lake Pukaki, enjoy a stop at panoramic lookout points and a scenic drive parallel to the tranquil blue waters, allowing you to soak in the serenity and capture breathtaking moments. The drive towards Mount Cook offers awe-inspiring views. Upon reaching Mount Cook, immerse yourself in the mesmerizing scenery. Opt for the Hooker Valley Track, featuring famous swing bridges, and catch a glimpse of ice at Hooker Lake as time permits. Look out for kea, the world's only alpine parrot. Alternatively, engage in other activities like a helicopter ride, depending on weather conditions. Make a brief stop at Mount Cook Visitor Centre and learn more about the history and place or opt for Tasman Glacier Walks as time permits. You have the option to either return to Queenstown or conclude your journey at Mount Cook to embark on a new adventure. You can also choose to be dropped off at either Christchurch or Dunedin. Please select the preferred option during the booking process. Regrettably, our enchanting journey concludes as we drop you off at your preferred location. Cherish the memories of a day filled with spectacular landscapes and the essence of New Zealand's natural beauty.
