Lakeshore, Forest and Bird Walk, Queenstown

Introduction

This guided walk is a unique nature interpretative experience. While travelling the short distance to the start of the walk, a full commentary is given and photo stops made to introduce hikers to this pristine natural environment.

The hike begins at a leisurely pace in native shrub and beech forest, and the track leads down through the forest to the edge of Lake Wakatipu.

Great views can be had looking out through the trees and over the water to the mountains beyond. Enjoy morning or afternoon tea/coffee on the lake shore to the sounds of native bird calls and surrounded by majestic mountains.

The track is good but uneven and winds around the lake with the option of a steeper climb to a lookout with magnificent views in all directions. The hike’s walking time is around 2 to 3 hours, while the distance covered will be 2 to 5 kilometres.
