Dingleburn Discovery
This epic off-road safari and walk explores the wild and remote landscapes of Lake Hawea’s
Dingleburn Station.
This has to be one of the most thrilling and spectacular backroad journeys in New Zealand. Your expert guide skillfully negotiates this incredible road blasted by hand into a sheer cliff face 60m above Lake Hawea. Arriving at remote Silver Island Bay enjoy freshly brewed coffee and cake before setting off on a leisurely guided walk (optional) to a panoramic view point over Lake Hawea. The silence is as powerful as the scenery out here… not to be missed
