Explore channels and side-streams in this spectacular wilderness location and witness the native flora and fauna of the area.
Take a break at the river’s edge to enjoy a gourmet picnic lunch while you take in the sounds of the native birds and the serenity of the native beech forest.
Wrap up the journey with a scenic 4WD tour through paradise and pass some of New Zealand’s most renowned filming locations, seen in movies such as the Lord of the Rings Trilogy and X-Men Origins – Wolverine.
This action-packed full day of exploration gets you away from the hustle and bustle of Queenstown to experience the natural, untouched beauty New Zealand is so famous for.
Enjoy an hour of high-speed Wilderness Jet boating through the waters of the Dart River into the Te Waipounamu World Heritage Area and your Funyak launch site.
The professional and friendly guides will take you on an inspiring adventure as you gently drift in your own Funyak.
Take your time to find those ‘special spots’ where flora, fauna and the power of nature combine to create magic.
