Perfect experience.

Great experience. They split all guests into 2 groups. One starts with the bus trip through the off road to Paradise and the Lord of the Rings filming locations and then the Forest Road to finish with a jet boat ride. We did this and think it is the best to finish with the most exciting part. But if you do not get the choice, everything is great especially if you have sun during the day and if it rained a few days before as it makes the river more fun and interesting.
Thank You - to the thousands of travellers that have contributed to our Top Voted NZ Activities Map - it's free from Rankers.

Bought as a present and a fantastic experience. All the employees were fantastic and made it an incredible afternoon. Lovely to see and hear how proud they are of their country.

Good service with raincoats and warm capes. Very expensive. We missed coffee and tea after the trip. Guides and bus driver are very enthusiastic.

It was a guided tour first transfer from Queenstown to Glenorchy, then 4WD bus to Paradise Valley and movie locations. After that a tiny walk through Beech Forest (too short), then an awesome jetboat ride on Dart River with Gavin!!!
