Awesome experience
Our trip to Glenorchy & Paradise was awesome! Magnificent scenery and the guide was very good as well. However, we got to know only before departure that the animal farms were closed during winter. My kids were disappointed for that. But they enjoyed the scenery.

Paradise is not worth it
I chose the option to visit Glenorchy and Paradise in the same tour, but in the same bus there were people who were found just Glenorchy. We stoped by Glenorchy first to drop them off, then we headed to Paradise, which is about 20min away. THERE IS NOTHING IN PARADISE. We drove for 20min and stopped in the middle of nowhere, where supposedly Lord of the rings were filmed, but there is nothing to see other than grass and mountains, the same mountains you can see from Glenorchy. We stayed there for 2 min because there was absolutely nothing to do, and drove back to Glenorchy, to spend 30min there. The guys who went only to Glenorchy had a better time than me and I paid double the price just to go see nothing in Paradise. NOT RECOMMENDED!! See photos of the place where we stopped in Paradise:

Amazing
I was in Queenstown for a solo trip & booked this Lovely tour to end the year. Transport was so comfy, audio recordings played throughout the trip. Loved our personal guide- Dave Harding who made sure we were welcomed, entertained, informed & well taken care of. Thank you Dave! He is the heart of the trip! Glenorchy- Had a good 10 or so minutes to take photos of the lovely Lake & the red barn. There could be a queue of tourists. Paradise- Endless greens, some parts of the road can be bumpy but leave it all to Dave’s expertise & enjoy the ride & the view . Farm- Got to see & feed the alpacas, deer, horses,donkeys, sheeps. There are some other farm animals too. Great experience for kids & kids at heart! Was pleased to have some free tea & coffee.

Good Half-Day Tour
The service vehicle is good and the guide is friendly. It's a good half day tour to explore the beauty of Glenorchy on your own.
