Get ready to dive into adventure – starting with a splash! Your journey kicks off with a high-speed jet boat ride along the Dart River, where braided channels weave through a valley of towering peaks. Feel the rush as your driver expertly navigates tight corners, throws in some epic spins, and takes you deep into Mount Aspiring National Park. Then, swap horsepower for paddle power as you step into a Funyak, your inflatable canoe for the day. With no engine noise, just the sound of your paddle dipping into crystal-clear water, you’re free to soak in the sheer tranquility of this UNESCO-listed wonderland.
If the landscapes feel straight out of a fantasy epic, that’s because they are. As you drift through the park’s hidden side streams and peaceful rock pools, you’ll be gliding past real-life filming locations from The Lord of the Rings and X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Imagine elves marching through the valley or Wolverine charging across the riverbanks – it all happened right here. Take a break to enjoy a picnic lunch in the heart of the wilderness before continuing your paddle through scenes so stunning, they had to be captured on film. And if you’d rather sit back and let someone else handle the ride home, opt for round-trip transfers from Queenstown for a hassle-free end to the day.
