Adventure Half Day Between Queenstown and Mount Cook Tour
Journey deep into the Southern Alps on a half-day sightseeing tour between Queenstown and Mount Cook.
Set off from Queenstown in a luxury coach, enjoying the commentary from your local driver guide as you travel north. Pass through the historic gold mining district of the rugged Kawarau River Gorge and the famous fruit-growing region of Cromwell. Skirting the shores of Lake Dunstan, your tour crosses the Lindis Pass into Omarama for morning tea at your own expense.
Continue through the rugged high country landscape of the Mackenzie Basin to arrive at Aoraki/Mt. Cook National Park, home to Australasia’s highest mountain at 3,724 meters.
