Glenorchy-Queenstown Road
Sightseeing
29
Directions

If you’re driving from Queenstown to Glenorchy, expect about a 45 minute trip along the edge of Lake Wakatipu that’s anything but boring. The road winds along the water, with plenty of spots worth pulling over for! 👌🏻

Just a heads up, the road’s pretty narrow and can get tricky in winter, so take it slow and pull over if someone’s behind you. But honestly, the chance to soak in that stunning scenery more than makes up for it.
