Located just beyond Glenorchy near to the start of the Routeburn Track, the only way to experience this unique and outstanding environment is to get up close and personal.
Wander among the trees in the beech forest, exploring your surroundings and hearing the gentle sounds of the streams, trees and birds while being transported to a world of peace and tranquility.

Along with entertaining and informative commentary, your guide will also provide trail mix snacks along with bottled water. Day packs, rain jackets and walking poles can also be provided if requested.
Local Queenstown accommodation pick ups and drop offs are also offered with this guided walk tour. Price is per group, based on a maximum of six passengers.
