The tour is packed in one day. Very reasonable and worth the price. Our tour guide Andy is a safe driver, good at communicating and was also very generous in stopping at other beautiful spots apart from listed itinerary to take some shots. highly recommended.

I was delighted to sign up for this trip to Glenorchy and Paradise. Although the weather wasn't very stable, we were lucky enough to see a rainbow on the way to Glenorchy. Jim, our guide and driver, immediately pulled over at a suitable photo spot so we could admire this special scenery. Along the way, the humorous Jim not only introduced us to the unique characteristics of the towns around Lake Wakatipu but also gave us a deeper understanding of the entire South Island of New Zealand. This was a very pleasant and worthwhile trip.

Riding in an off-road jeep was so cool! Before we even got in, the guide said we could sit anywhere, so I went straight for the front passenger seat. 😂 I highly recommend the front passenger seat! 👍 The view is great, and you can chat with the guide. 🤣 Their commentary was also very interesting. Plus, the Legend of Zelda movie coming out in 2027 was filmed here, which is exciting for fans! There was also an afternoon tea break, and both the banana cake and hot cocoa were delicious. Just a heads-up, though: there are some small, blood-sucking flies in the area that can be a bit annoying. 😂
