Glenorchy and Paradise Explorer Half Day Tour

Join Altitude Tours for a magical half-day journey to Glenorchy and beyond. This small settlement is only 50 minutes from Queenstown, located on the northern shores of Lake Wakatipu and is full of character and charm, both of the local and Middle Earth variety. Take in some of the most famous and scenic sights of the region, tuck into a class Kiwi morning tea and be entertained by the local stories and film history from your expert local guide.

On this half-day tour, visit all of the best local and secret spots. Get a photo with the famous Glenorchy red shed, pretend to be a Hobbit in Paradise, take in the incredible snow-capped views over the Dart and Rees Rivers and Diamond Lake, and hear stories of the early Maori settlers. This is a truly iconic New Zealand destination, combining all of the top things which make the South Island what it is.
