Itinerary:

1. ** Queenstown -** Your tour starts in the stunning city of
Queenstown. As we drive out of the city your guide will not only set the scene
for your adventurous day but also point out and guide you past some of the
area’s top highlights.

2. ** Kawarau Suspension Bridge –** Departing Queenstown we then make
our way through the Kawarau Gorge, passing stunning views, the Kawarau
Suspension Bridge and the famous Roaring Meg Lookout. Time and light
permitting we will stop for that first great shot of the tour.

3. ** Cromwell –** Exiting the Kawarau Gorge we enter the fruit and
wine growing region of Cromwell. Passing huge fields of vines, we cross Lake
Dunstan and follow this beautiful lake towards Lindis Pass.

4. ** Lindis Pass –** Climbing in altitude, Lindis Pass has amazing
views down through the valleys. Being one of only three alpine roads through
the otherwise impassable Southern Alps, we stop at the famous lookout at the
top of the pass for an essential photo.

5. ** Omarama** – While driving through the endless plains of the
Mackenzie district we will spot several of the famous Merino breed of sheep
before stopping at the quaint township of Omarama. While in Omarama we have
time for a break or even to try the best creamy chicken pie in NZ (in our
opinion)!

6. ** Mt Cook Sky Dive** – After your break, we think it’s the
perfect time to enjoy New Zealand’s most stunning skydiving experience with Mt
Cook Ski dive! Located in Pukaki and boasting some of the country’s most epic
scenery, Skydive Mt Cook is the best way to see South Islands incredible views
including snow-capped mountains, glaciers, lakes and

Aoraki/Mt Cook National Park. While you free fall from the best piece of sky
this beautiful country has to offer, the rest of your group will have
continued into the national park however you will re-join the group soon.

7. ** Lake Pukaki** – Back on solid group the sky dive team will
drive you to meet the group. Turning west we begin to enter the Aoraki
National Park and Lake Pukaki begins to emerge in front of us. Lake Pukaki is
one of the bluest lakes you will ever see and is stunningly framed by the
backdrop of Aoraki/Mt Cook and the Southern Alps. We stop for some amazing
photos and to marvel at the sight that we are beholding. It’s not hard to see
why many Lord of the Rings scene were filmed nearby and we will point them out

for you.

8. ** Mt Cook Information Centre** – Arriving at Mt Cook Village,
weather depending, we should get some amazing shots of the mountain itself.
At 3724m, Aoraki/Mt Cook is New Zealand’s highest peak, however the mountain
can be viewed without any acclimatisation whatsoever from the village which is
just 750m above sea level.

9. ** Aoraki/Mt Cook National Park** – While in the national park
you have 2.5 hours free time to enjoy free walks/hikes or one of the extra
optional activities. Some of our recommendations include Kea Point Track or a
scenic flight. Whatever you decide to do we will pick you up and drop you off
where you need to go and make sure you are well looked after.

10. ** High Country Salmon** - Farewelling Aoraki/Mt Cook Village and
making our way back to Queenstown we stop in at High Country Salmon, a local
salmon farm, where you can feed the fish and taste some of the freshest salmon
in New Zealand.

11. ** Mrs Jones Fruit Stall** – During summer months when the sun is
still up and as we get close to Queenstown, we often stop at Mrs Jones
Suncrest Orchard to try or buy her delicious local fruit or real fruit ice
cream.

12. ** Queenstown –** Sadly the tour must come to an end as we re-
enter Queenstown and say our goodbyes.
