Have you ever thought it could be possible to find that magical, peaceful location where you were the only people there and the experience was so special.

Travelling around the world invariably means sharing places of interest with other people. There are however some places you can visit that may be described as " Off the Beaten Track" or far from the crowds, but the reality when you get there is somewhat different.

I want to tell you about the exclusive access that Private Discovery Tours have to a special area near Queenstown.

Forty five minutes from Queenstown near Glenorchy you can be taken by 4WD on to a High Country Station, experience if you like some of the aspects of the farm itself or simply indulge in the majestic location that it is in the heart of the Paradise Valley.

Essentially you can have your own private tour for a small group of any size and this can be after you have flown to Milford Sound and on your return land at Glenorchy.

Or on your own private helicopter flight to Milford and surrounds include lunch on the mountain side. If you are after the ultimate foodie fun day why not consider our "Chef on the Mountain".

Arrive to a full sit down lunch menu with a Chef host to inspire your appetite and entertain your group.

Your Picnic on the Mountain

At your private location, 1900 feet above sea level. A picnic rug, a glass of pinot noir and a hamper full of delicious treats set the scene for a summer picnic.

Throw off the rush and bustle of daily life and indulge yourself to enjoy the chirp of crickets and the soft, sweet smell of summer grass.

Your afternoon can be a leisurely walk or energetic hike through beech forest, alpine tussock or relaxing taking in the panoramic views over Diamond Lake, Dart River and Lake Wakatipu.

Further touring options across farmland to view lake birdlife, swans and paradise ducks abound or farm activities.
