Glenorchy and Dart River experience

The Dart Wilderness jet boat is a great way to see the Dart river
Visit a working farm and learn about farming in the wilderness
Tramp through the glorious forest alongside the Dart or Rees rivers
Experience the lovely Dart River combined with Milford Sound, a half day hike or be a guest on a working farm.
Why drive all the way to Glenorchy and back again just for the jet boat ride?
Glenorchy and the Dart River never disappoint, but to maximise the enjoyment of the day combine a scenic and exciting jet boat ride with either a morning at one of Glenorchy's working high country farms or a flight to Milford Sound. These combinations result in a full day out, making maximum use of travelling times.

Dart River and Farm Tour

An experienced Otago farmer will drive you to Glenorchy by Landrover while giving you a commentary on seasonal farm activities.
He'll take you on an exclusive tour of Mount Earnslaw Station, viewing farm livestock operations - Angus cattle, Perendale sheep, and Red deer are farmed on the extensive flatlands between the station’s rivers and lakes. Take a stroll up Mt Alfred for a sweeping view of Diamond Lake and see the black swans and paradise ducks on Lake Reid.
Have lunch in the Glenorchy pub before boarding the jet boat for a 70km trip on the Dart River.
