Horse trekking from Queenstown
The little village of
Glenorchy can be found at the northern end of Lake
Wakatipu. The jagged peaks of the snow-capped mountains act as a
spectacular backdrop to this tiny South Island village, which is
approximately a 45 minute drive from Queenstown.
The trip here is a treat. The road
from Queenstown to
Glenorchy is one
of the most spectacular drives in the world. The road skirts
Lake Wakatipu for most of the way and climbs broad hills
with views of snow-capped mountains. Catching a fish in these
parts can be as simple as tossing a line in the Lake.
A very popular tourist attraction
at Glenorchy is Horse Trekking.
Dart Stables are situated here
and can take you on various treks in this stunning
environment. Some of their horses were used in scenes from The Lord of the Rings
trilogy.
Reservations are essential, through our guest services staff at Lake Vista Bed and Breakfast.
