Routeburn Track Guided Hike Full Day

About this activity

Experience one of New Zealand's celebrated Great Walks on a full-day guided adventure along the Routeburn Track. Travel from Queenstown alongside Lake Whakatipu and through Glenorchy before entering Mount Aspiring National Park and the UNESCO World Heritage listed Te Wāhipounamu wilderness.

Cross the Routeburn swing bridge into ancient native beech forest and follow the beautiful Routeburn River past waterfalls, gorges and mountain valleys as the track climbs towards Routeburn Flats before the steeper ascent up towards Routeburn Falls.

Your experienced local guide shares knowledge of native plants, birds, geology and history along the way. With approx 6-7 hours of hiking within the 10-hour day, this is an incredible option for active travellers wanting to experience the Routeburn without an overnight stay.
