Activity itinerary

Wanaka
  • 15m
Following pickup from the Wanaka Lakefront Car Park, we’ll stroll down to the lakeside for that iconic photo of the Wānaka Tree. Soak in the beauty of this expansive lake, backdropped by Mt Aspiring and the Southern Alps—a paradise for photographers.
Lake Hawea Lookout
  • 10m
After crossing the mighty Clutha River, we head westward past the stunning Lake Hawea where we'll stop for a quick photo at a lookout point between Lake Wānaka and Lake Hāwea.
Thunder Creek Falls
  • 20m
An easy 5-minute walk will reward you with a spectacular view of Thunder Creek Falls. This 28-metre waterfall, a remnant of a once-great glacier, pours from a hanging valley.
Haast
  • 45m
Here we stop at the Hard Antler where you have 45 minutes to enjoy your lunch.
Ship Creek Walks
  • 30m
As we head north along the border where ancient rainforest meets the ocean, we’ll stop at Ship Creek. Dig your toes in the sand and feel the crash of the relentless waves of the Tasman Sea. Explore the dunes via an easy 1km walking track.
Bruce Bay
  • 10m
Here, thick native rainforest meets the seemingly endless open ocean. Bruce Bay truly showcases the best of the West Coast!
Lake Matheson Walk
  • 1h
We continue to every photographer's dream: Lake Matheson. On a calm day, you can capture Mt Cook reflected elegantly across this picturesque lake. This easy walk will reward you with breathtaking views of the Southern Alps.
Franz Josef (Pass by)
We'll pass many glacial rivers as we journey past Fox Glacier and on to Franz Josef, where you will be dropped at your central accommodation.
