Activities in Glenorchy
-
Dart River Safaris
Dart River Safaris journeys by jetboat into the heart of the spectacular Dart River wilderness, followed by a short nature walk and a 4WD trip down a back road to Paradise. The round trip from Glenorchy takes three hours. A longer 2½-hour jetboat ride up the Dart (adult/child $229/129) ups the excitement level, and you can combine a jetboat ride with a river descent in an inflatable three-seater ‘funyak’ (adult/child $279/179); from Glenorchy it’s seven hours return. For all trips add a couple of hours if you’re departing from Queenstown.

Mountainland Rovers
If you’d rather just be a passenger, you can visit the Rees Valley with Mountainland Rovers, which runs 4WD tours into the remote wilderness. It also picks up from Queenstown.
