Description:

Get out and explore the stunning natural environment of the Mount Aspiring National Park by kayak and on horseback. Using Glenorchy as your base, paddle out to the conservation reserve of Pigeon Island before mounting your horse and riding through the picturesque Dart River Valley.

After traveling around the shores of Lake Wakatipu to the idyllic town of Glenorchy, begin the kayaking leg of your tour by paddling out to Pigeon Island. Hear from your guide about the significant role the island played in the region's history as you stroll around the nature reserve, spotting diverse species of wildlife including a rich array of birds.

Spend some free time in Glenorchy over lunch, and then it's time to release your inner cowboy. Climb onto your horse and explore the stunningly charming Dart River Valley.

With multiple water crossings, flanked by verdant countryside and surrounded by snow-capped peaks, this is an awe-inspiring setting. Your guide points out real-life filming locations used to portray the lands of Middle-Earth in the epic production of The Lord of the Rings.
