Mount Cook Day Trip

Mount Cook is New Zealand's highest mountain and a prominent landmark. This day trip from Queenstown offers stunning scenery.

Mount Cook Day Trip

We will pick you up from your hotel in Queenstown at the specified time and depart for Mount Cook. En route, there will be several stops to enjoy the wild landscapes of South Island, including a stop at a shop for snacks and refreshments.

We will travel into the wilderness of New Zealand's Southern Alps, known for its mountains, glaciers, and lakes. A notable stop will be Lake Pukaki, famous for its deep blue waters. Following this, we will continue towards Mount Cook.

This landscape may remind fans of the Lord of the Rings series, as the mountain represented Mount Caradhras. Upon arrival, you will have three hours of free time to explore, hike, or participate in local activities.

At the agreed time, we will reconvene for the return trip, stopping at a salmon farm for lunch.

We will arrive back in Queenstown at approximately 6:45 pm, dropping you off at your hotel.
