What you can expect

Your day begins with Altitude Tours begins with a spectacular scenic drive from Queenstown to Glenorchy along the lakes edge, with photo stops and entertaining stories from your local guide about the legends of Lake Whakatipu.

Experience the breathtaking beauty of New Zealand's South Island with the Glenorchy Scenic Tour and Dart River Jet Combo. This thrilling adventure, offered by Altitude Tours, combines the best of both worlds - a scenic tour of Glenorchy and an exhilarating jet boat ride on the Dart River.

Embark on a journey through the stunning landscapes of Glenorchy, known for its awe-inspiring mountains, crystal-clear lakes, and lush forests. Marvel at the dramatic scenery as you travel in a comfortable, modern vehicle, guided by knowledgeable and friendly experts. Learn about the area's rich history, fascinating Maori legends, and iconic film locations from the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

But the excitement doesn't end there. After a quick stop in Glenorchy to check out the township and grab lunch at a local cafe, strap yourself in for an adrenaline-pumping ride on the Dart River Wilderness Jet, operated by Dart River Jet. Feel the rush as you speed through narrow river channels, surrounded by towering cliffs and untouched wilderness. Hold on tight as your skilled jet boat driver performs thrilling spins and maneuvers, ensuring an unforgettable experience.

This combo tour allows you to immerse yourself in the natural wonders of New Zealand, combining the tranquility of a scenic tour with the thrill of a jet boat ride. Whether you're a nature lover, adventure seeker, or LOTR film enthusiast, the Glenorchy Scenic Tour and Dart River Jet Combo is a must-do activity in Queenstown. Book now and create memories that will last a lifetime.

The jetboat experience will finish back in Glenorchy, and from there, Dart River Adventures will transport you back to Queenstown by coach.
