Routeburn Track
Travel from Queenstown to the world-renowned Routeburn Track for a fully guided small-group nature walk through Mt Aspiring National Park.
After morning pickup, journey through Glenorchy along the shores of Lake Wakatipu. Your guide leads a relaxed paced walk along the well-formed Routeburn Track, sharing insights into the region’s geology, birdlife, forest ecology, and conservation story.
This short walk allows you to discover an array of native flora and fauna, crossing a swing bridge and walking through ancient forest. Learn to identify native plant species, hear the calls of endemic birds, and gain a deeper understanding of how this landscape was shaped over thousands of years.
The walk is immersive and interpretive, with regular stops for storytelling, photography, and quiet appreciation of the surroundings.
Enjoy a tea break in nature before retracing your steps through the forest. Return to Queenstown, refreshed and connected to one of New Zealand’s most iconic landscapes.
