Uncover the beauty of the towering mountain ranges of Glenorchy and see famous movie locations on this half day 4WD tour from Queenstown. Step aboard a luxury all terrain vehicle and travel along the shoreline of Lake Wakatipu for some dazzling photo opportunities in Glenorchy.

The half day tour also includes a farm shed experience and sheep shearing demonstration as well as meet and greet with some of the cuddly creatures. Passengers can also see the native beech forest that makes Glenorchy an outdoor adventurer's playground during a visit to Paradise and Aspiring National Park plus enjoy an afternoon tea with refreshments.
