YOU DRIVE THE CAR
-
Your pick of a BMW 1M or 1M S65 V8
-
A truly special drive along the scenic road between Lake Hāwea and Makarora, crossing through to Lake Wānaka around the half way point, with some of the best flowing lakeside curves the region has to offer.
-
A stop in Makarora for a refreshment and the opportunity to swap cars for the return. (this depends what vehicles are on the tour on the day)
-
We then head back along the road in the opposite direction to see an entirely different perspective of both Lake Wānaka and Lake Hāwea with surrounding mountains.
-
There are multiple stops at popular viewpoints and lookouts along the way, so bring your camera!
We can also venture further and visit the Blue Pools - another must-see in the area. This can be added on to the drive for an additional $135.00. Allow for an extra 1 hour for this.
