Day Tours in Queenstown

Where can you go to see glow worms, ride a bike up mountain peaks, cruise amid dramatic scenery on a pristine lake, walk among lush forests or view Mt Cook, the highest mountain in New Zealand – all in one day? Queenstown, of course! Bike riding takes you to the high country, where the history of mustering sheep and cattle comes alive in traditional old huts, such as Pretty Hut and Old Nic. Fjordland – carved out over thousands of years by glaciers – features a network of underground caves adjoining Lake Te Anau, where thousands of glow worms illuminate walls and ceilings. Guided walks are also a must, so you can smell, see and touch nature at its most beautiful, in World Heritage parks, peaks and basins; all while being guided by experts and enjoying a gourmet picnic lunch. Then there are the movie buffs, who will just love the Lord of the Rings Tour in mystical high country, from Glenorchy to Paradise Valley.
