_The best of native flora & bird-life, with magnificent lake & mountain views in an area with its own micro-climate; plants are protected from the elements so species are much larger than elsewhere. Native birds are readily seen & heard & you’ll be introduced to an array of edible & medicinal plants used by Maori & European settlers on this fun half day walk.

The 'Lakeshore Forest & Bird' guided walk is a unique nature interpretative experience taken at a leisurely pace through native beech forest, with morning or afternoon tea/coffee on the lake-shore to the sounds of native bird calls and surrounded by majestic mountains.

Departures are at 8.00am and 1.30pm. We will pick you up from your Queenstown accommodation. A full commentary is given and photo stops made while travelling the short distance by road to the start of this walk.

The walk begins in native shrub & Beech forest, and the track leads down through the forest to the edge Lake Wakatipu. Great views can be had looking out through the trees and over the water to the mountains beyond.

The track is good but uneven and winds around the lake shore with the option of a steeper climb to a lookout with magnificent views in all directions.
