Explore stunning private lands that are otherwise off-limits to the public, and travel into the Cass Valley alpine river valley just minutes away from Lake Tekapo town. This is a unique opportunity to explore untouched backcountry landscapes of The Mackenzie Basin. The tour takes place on the western side of Lake Tekapo, offering a world of Natural wonder and beauty showcasing an area famous for its expansive tussock plains, pristine lakes, glaciers and mountainous landscapes. The landscapes are iconic and provide some of the best views in New Zealand's South Island, away from the busy lakefront.
The overall naturalness of the rocky steep scree slides, the U-shaped valleys carved by glaciation, waterfalls, glaciers, lateral moraines and tussock- clad terraces, overwhelm the senses and ignite the wonder of such a supremely stunning and unique landscape.

The route was not great and did not meet pics

2.00The driver was nice offering tea and chocolate but the USP of the whole experience was lacking. The route was boring and the four wheeler was very uncomfortable. I’ve done four wheel experience multiples times and this was terrible.
A must-do activity for those who are into scenic views!
