New Zealand South Island｜Glenorchy｜Horseback travel in the town of Lord of the Rings, the closest place to heaven

｜Itinerary｜
Drive from Queenstown to Glenorchy (it is recommended to reserve time for taking photos on the way), join the horseback riding experience at the local horse farm before noon (it is recommended to make an appointment in advance), walk along the lake near the pier in the afternoon, enjoy the Glenorchy Wharf and the surrounding mountain scenery, and return to Queenstown later in the evening, just in time to capture the sunset on the road

｜Transportation｜
It takes about 45 minutes to drive from Queenstown. The scenery along the way is magnificent. It is one of the most classic lakeside roads in the South Island. There is no public transportation. It is recommended to rent a car or take a one-day tour (including transportation and horse riding experience)

｜Recommendation reason｜
Glenorchy, the legendary filming location of The Lord of the Rings, is known as "the town closest to heaven". The scenery along Lake Wakatipu from Queenstown is so beautiful that it seems unreal. The horseback riding experience here allows you to walk into a movie scene in person. With the vast river bank and surrounded by mountains, everything is so quiet that it seems as if time has stood still. When you ride on horseback, it feels like an exploration mission outside the wall in Attack on Titan, and every step is like entering a fairy tale world. Suitable for travelers who want to get away from the crowds and experience the charm of nature at a slow pace.
