Rainbow - Nelson Lakes Tours
Experience this 4WD wilderness tour across the Southern Alps
through private land to the magnificent and stunning Nelson Lakes.
This country is remarkable for the transition from craggy, beech tree
covered mountains to flowing tussock lands where vast screes spill
from ridge crest to valley floor in a lonely landscape split with
fast flowing snow fed streams and ice cold sparkling lakes. After
a delightful picnic lunch on the lake shore we travel on through the
many gold fields and the West Coast native beech forests using old
historic "Stock and Gold Trails" used by our enterprising pioneers
over 150 years ago before arriving back at Hanmer Springs.
Features; 5
Alpine lakes, 5 mountain passes, 20 rivers, geological faults, 100 year
old homesteads, native flora and fauna plus the wildlife. A truly unbelievable
day out Tour departs 8am and returns approx. 5.30 pm.
