Franz Josef to Queenstown Day Tour

Enjoy a short stop at Bruce Bay to take in the raw, rugged coastline of the West Coast.

Enjoy a short stop in Haast, where you’ll have time to purchase a bite to eat at one of the local cafés (at your own expense).

Stop for a lunch stop at Makaraora Country Cafe, an amzing spot with views over the ranges. Plenty of great food options and ice creams available.

Enjoy the scenary and learn about the Lake Hawea Dam. When dammed in the 1950s as part of the Roxburgh hydroelectric scheme, Lake Hāwea rose by 20 metres. It provides water storage for both Roxburgh and Clyde power stations. Both stations are otherwise dependent on the natural flow of the Clutha and Kawarau rivers. Lakes Roxburgh and Dunstan are maintained within a narrow range to minimise environmental damage.

Enjoy a rest stop at Wanaka along the waterfront and view the famous Wanaka Tree at Lake Wanaka. Lake Wanaka is New Zealand's 4th largest lake. Wanaka means a place of learning.
