Boat Tours Queenstown

Highlights

• Experience two of the South Island’s most iconic regions in one unforgettable private day

• Scenic Glenorchy lakes and valleys in the morning, alpine passes and Wanaka charm in the afternoon

• Discover hidden gems, short walks, peaceful lakesides, and breathtaking lookouts

• Balance adventure and relaxation with cafés, hikes, photo stops, or local attractions

• Fully customisable itinerary with your own local guide and private vehicle

Be collected from your hotel or residence by one of our experienced local guides in one of our comfortable sedans, wagons, or SUVs, then set off on a full-day journey showcasing the very best of the Queenstown region.

Start your day along the legendary Queenstown–Glenorchy Road, widely considered one of the world’s most scenic drives. Stop at stunning locations like Wilson Bay, Bennett’s Bluff, and Moke Lake for peaceful walks, reflections, and incredible photo opportunities. In Glenorchy, stroll the Lagoon Walkway, visit the iconic red boat shed, and enjoy a coffee at Mrs Woolly’s General Store. For those wanting more adventure, explore Paradise, river valleys, or short forest trails surrounded by dramatic mountain scenery.

From here, continue your journey over to Wanaka, travelling through spectacular alpine routes such as the Crown Range or Kawarau Gorge. Along the way, discover charming Arrowtown, historic streets, and the famous Cardrona Hotel.

In Wanaka, unwind by crystal-clear lakes, snap a photo at the famous Wanaka Tree, visit Rippon Vineyard, or enjoy relaxed lakeside strolls. Optional stops include Puzzling World, Mount Iron, Glendhu Bay, or scenic lookouts over Lake Hawea — perfect for stretching your legs or simply soaking in the views.

With complete flexibility throughout the day, you can pack in the sights or take it slow. Your guide adapts the plan around your interests, ensuring a seamless mix of exploration, comfort, and local insight.

Finish with a scenic drive back to Queenstown, relaxing as the mountains glow in the evening light after a day filled with unforgettable landscapes.
