Overview

The road from Queenstown to Glenorchy is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful drives on the planet. Hugging the shores of Lake Wakatipu with snow-capped mountains as a constant backdrop, it’s the kind of journey that stops conversation and takes your breath away.

Your private Queenstown Chauffeurs experience begins with a door-to-door collection, and from that moment the day belongs entirely to your group. Wind along the lakeside road, stop at dramatic lookouts, discover hidden bays, wander through glacier-carved valleys, and arrive into the peaceful, end-of-the-road charm of Glenorchy — a town where the mountains feel close enough to touch.

Whether you’re after scenic walks, dramatic landscapes, quiet reflection, or simply one of the most memorable drives of your life, this tour delivers it all — at your pace, in total comfort.

Duration: Approx. 6 Hours

Availability: Private & exclusive — your group only

Pick-up: Door-to-door from your Queenstown accommodation

Location

Schedule Details

Queenstown–Glenorchy Road

Voted one of the world's most scenic drives, this lakeside road follows the western shores of Lake Wakatipu with mountain panoramas at every turn. Your chauffeur knows every viewpoint worth stopping at.

Moke Lake

A hidden gem just off the main road — a tranquil glacial lake framed by rolling hills, perfect for a short walk, a quiet moment, or a stunning photo stop.

Bennetts Bluff Lookout

One of the most dramatic viewpoints in the entire region. Sweeping views across Lake Wakatipu and the surrounding ranges — an absolute must-stop.

Wilson Bay

A secluded lakeside spot ideal for a rest, a walk along the water's edge, or on a warm day, a refreshing swim in the glacier-fed lake.

Mrs Woolly's General Store — Glenorchy

The heart of Glenorchy village. Stop in for a coffee, a homemade treat, and a taste of this small town's warm, unhurried character.

Glenorchy Jetty & Red Boat Shed

One of the most photographed spots in the South Island — the iconic red boat shed reflected in the still waters of the Glenorchy lagoon. Pure New Zealand.

Glenorchy Lagoon Walkway

A short, flat walkway through wetlands with mirror-like reflections of the surrounding peaks. Serene, beautiful, and unlike anything in Queenstown.

Paradise (Optional)

For those who want to go further — the valley of Paradise lives up to its name. Lush river flats, ancient beech forests, and landscapes so cinematic they've appeared in major Hollywood productions. Your chauffeur will take you if time and conditions allow.

Routeburn Track Trailhead (Optional)

One of New Zealand's Great Walks begins here. Even if you're not walking the full track, the trailhead and surrounding scenery are spectacular — and worth a stop.

F.A.Q

Is the road to Glenorchy sealed?

Yes — the Queenstown–Glenorchy Road is fully sealed and one of the most scenic sealed roads in the world.

Is this suitable for children or elderly guests?

Absolutely. The tour is entirely flexible and can be as active or as relaxed as your group prefers.

Can we go to Paradise?

Yes — Paradise is an optional extension and we highly recommend it if time and conditions allow. Just mention it at booking.

Is there anywhere to eat in Glenorchy?

Mrs Woolly's General Store is the local favourite for coffee and light bites. For a fuller meal, we recommend bringing a picnic or we can arrange a gourmet packed lunch as an add-on. 

Can we combine this with another tour?

Yes — the Glenorchy tour pairs beautifully with a half-day Lord of the Rings experience or a morning wine tour. Get in touch and we'll design the perfect day.
