Dave, you are amazing!!! A very knowledgeable, joker and a very kind tour guide. We request to drop by animal experience as we are the only family on the tour and wish granted!!! He makes sure that we enjoy and safe on our travel. Journey was so beautiful and i learn a lot on the places we went and about Glenorchy. Highly recommended!!!

We had alot of fun during the tour! The commentary was very insightful, scenery is stunning and the short teabreak at Glenorchy was very delicious. Thumbs up to Pure Glenorchy!

Amazing trip i have the best experience amazing views and great customer service the drive knew a lot about the best places to take pictures definitely recommend it 100%

Best garden!

This is truly a little paradise! The views are breathtaking... everywhere you look there are flowers, lush gardens and sculptures (made by the owner), with the mountains as a backdrop. It is peaceful and relaxing... and an inspirational place especially for artists. I also got a tour of the house, which is just amazing - with beautiful furniture and decorations made by the owner out of recycled wood. I am so glad I decided to visit!

Filled with artistic flair this unique lakeside Garden is so unexpected in this alpine environment. Truly, you will see surprising works of art created from organic materials and ingenious adaptions for normal household utilities like the bath.

Definitely made my trip to NZ worth while. I’ve never experienced a garden like it, thousands of flowers & amazing wildlife amongst man made creations. And the house tour was definitely worth it. Great customer service. Tried to add more photos we took of flowers but could only add 2 pics

Such a stunning place. The owner greeted us and gave us a tour and we were wowed by the creativity. Definitely recommend you visit for an amazing experience!

It’s a very beautiful garden, must see in Queenstown.

We thought we were just going to look at a garden. BUT NO...this was a total mind blowing experience. We were greeted Christine and showed thru their totally unique lodge her husband has worked his artistic woodsmanship talent totally thru out the home. From the fish tank used as the water tank in the toilet to all the crafted wood. The breath-taking view from the kitchen window of the lake.We were shown the 2 Air B&B suites.Then outside to the garden. There was so much to see,it was hard to know which way to look. The gardens just amazing with sculptures doing yoga poses and placed throughout the garden giving the eye something to focus on. The ducks and birds and peacocks calling gave the atmosphere. There was a tree top curved staircase to climb which was amazing to view the property and views over lake Wakitipu. Finally we had the experience of feeding the birds,ducks and peacocks. The peacocks came so close to us and it felt almost intimate watching them put on a show with their feathers all out and their tails wiggling. You could feel the breeze as they turned around. This review I'm doing isn't doing Paradise Dream Garden any justice. It's an unforgettable experience and I totally recommend it to everyone.

I went with my partner and we loved it. Absolutely beautiful. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Queenstown who likes gardens. Very Insta-worthy.

Felt very privileged to have the opportunity to experience this. Fantastic weather with spectacular scenery. True South pilot Jason was informative friendly and accommodating.beautiful spot to visit in NZ

Loved the lake cruise and the optional farm tour was excellent, don't skip this optional add on which even includes lunch

Great crew, lots of space on the boat and nice fish and chips for lunch! The most beautiful scenery!

We booked this experience not expecting much, just a way to spend NYE afternoon before the festivities started. My first wow moment was when I saw the size of the boat we were on, then the size of the cheese platter amazed me , the pricing for all drinks were discounted from their menu to accommodate kiwis and the selection of wines were great! Locally produced wines from the best wineries for under $10 a glass!! The staff were amazing, went out of their way to be friendly, chat with you and tell you the history of the areas you see when on this trip. I highly recommend everyone to give this experience a go - you will not be disappointed!

Ben and Kat are fantastic. They seem passionate about their jobs and love Queenstown. All the gear was excellent. Safety briefing excellent and we were also provided with a two way radio. We paddled around Lake Moke. Awesome scenery with a little bit of wildlife around to keep it interesting. We had a fantastic time and we are very happy to highly recommend hiring Paddles and kayaking around lake Moke.

Must do experience for the price it is offered at. They also offer a complimentary Tea/Coffee with it which is just what you need in the cold on the lake.

Amazing staff, commentary and hospitality of the driver of the boat was pleasing. Worth the money you spend.

Great guide, awesome horses and unbelievable view. Totally enjoyed my experience and would highly recommend.

Amazing experience. Super friendly and chilled horses and guide. Really enjoyed every bit of it. Thank you. ❤️

The pilot gave us great views and good commentary, very helpful and we had a fantastic time! I only wish it could've been longer, not saying its not value for money, only that no matter how long it was, I would have probably asked for more!!!

Awesome Experience 😊

I rode with JD the horse and our tour guides marta n ezra were fantastic...never ride a horse before let alone a big horse like JD..it was an interesting experience and another ticked activities of me bucket list..? Hope to see JD really soon..

We had a fabulous time. Amazing views and a great enthusiastic guide. Would highly recommend. We enjoyed the beer too.

A lovely experience with the best visuals of the Lake & peaks. The crew were all very welcoming and helpful with great factual commentary provided about the areas shown. I would definitely recommend this trip.

A beautiful horse trekking experience! Easy ride through rivers and farmland. Beautiful scenery and adorable horses. Very friendly and nice staff.

My husband and I booked this at 9am in the morning, and I guess that it made the journey much better The sun wasn’t too strong, but we could still soak it up The lake was so calm and still that we could enjoy the view of mountains reflected on it The beautiful lady, Layna, who helped us to trek was very helpful and super nice even though my husband is not fluent in English The horses that took us were very gentle as well Everything was just awesome and beautiful, couldn’t be better :) I dare say it was the best moment in my life Thanks

Riding through the valley and up to Moke Lake was a magical experience! There were spectacular views in every direction! Our guide Kim was lovely and knowledgeable, and our horses Munster and Tigger were great companions for novice riders like me and my husband. We highly recommend this trek!

Great guide.. Laura, great horse...Jo joe. Thoroughly enjoyable. Thank you to everyone. Rosemary Lindop UK

Surprised my boyfriend with this horse trek. It was a really enjoyable experience and I would highly recommend it. I have never been on a horse before and they were really good at explaining everything and making sure I was comfortable and confident. Thank you

It was well worth it. Very calm horses and beautiful scenery. And the guide was fantastic.

Absolutely loved this. No need to worry if you haven't ridden before as the horses are great and the staff explain everything. Rachel our tour guide was fab. It was an awesome experience. The scenery is breath taking, just beautiful

Had an amazing time doing the 2 hour trek. Our guide Missy was awesome. She was very helpful & informative about the horses and area. We had a really fun time and it made our sore backsides and blisters worth it 100%. Thanks to our horses Munster & JD too!

This is a opportunity to ride through a stunning part of the country, really enjoyed the ride and I am not a horse rider normally. The operators and guides were excellent.

This is one of the activity you should not miss. One of the happiest experience in my life. Stunning view and very friendly horses plus the staff are so nice.

Great day for horse Trek. All staff friendly, patient and helpful. Definitely will come back for another ride~

Everything's great! 1.5hrs Moke Lake Trek is suitable for beginners horse riding. Will back to try for longer riding next time!

My 10 year old daughter, sister in law and I went on the 1.5 hr trek. Got picked up with the free shuttle from Queenstown and drove across to Moke lake which is where the horses are. Our guide was Missy and our horses were Boom, Reno and Tigger. I was super nervous but Missy was calm and confident which made me relax. The horses were calm and just followed each other. The trek was mainly flat with a few little hills that the horses would go faster up. We went through water crossings, past cows and sheep surrounded by the beautiful mountains. Felt safe, the saddles were comfortable and Missy was full of information about the area. Our trek was a loop that finished at Moke lake which was beautiful. Beautiful hot sunny day. Great ride for beginners. My daughter loved it. Would 100% recommend this trek and we'd do it again in a heartbeat. Missy you are such a natural and a great guide. We had great fun.

Fantastic experience. Breath taking views everywhere you look. Great trek for beginners. Missy was our guide and made sure we were all well looked after. We rode Boom, Reno and Tigger and they were great. Recommend it and look forward to doing again.
