Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Driving the 4WD was fun and challenging enough for us. The scenery is sensational. We also loved the quiet and isolation. Andy was very helpful and has a lovely, friendly manner. We really enjoyed our little adventure.

Beautiful scenery! Definitely worth doing! Andy was so welcoming and clearly explained everything we needed to know regarding the 4WD UTV and following the track. We had an amazing time and took lots of photos!

Absolutely wonderful experience exploring the Dart River Delta! Andy was a delight to deal with, explained the use of the buggy & has a neat set up to let you go on your own tour, stopping to take pictures whenever you want. It was a cold day but we rugged up & totally loved the experience, such great value too. If you go out Glenorchy way do yourself a favour & do this experience:)

The self drive Delta Discovery package was brilliant. We loved every minute of it. The experience was fun, exciting and educational. Andy was a sheer delight as a host and a very knowledgable operator.

Highly recommend Delta 4WD tour. Andy was great at explaining the track and how the buggies work. Our 5 year old had so much fun on the track and looking out for the orange track markers. Recommend an afternoon session once the fog has subsided.

We all (Mum, Dad & teens D19and S16) really enjoyed the Delta Discovery. The vehicles were really easy to drive, but loads of fun. It was also beautiful scenery and very peaceful. A really unique activity, and a nice break away from busy Queenstown. Would definitely recommend.

We did the electric 4x4 tour as a group of three adults in one buggy.
Andy was an absolute pleasure to deal with, giving regular weather updates prior to the day, and sharing plenty of interesting knowledge about the local area.
The tour was a blast driving the buggy over the vast and varied terrain of the delta. You can stop and explore and take photos whenever you like, and it’s great to have the freedom and quiet of doing everything yourselves.
We had an incredible time and highly recommend it! Thanks Andy.

Magnificent landscape and the 4wd is the perfect way to see it. Andy was keen to share his love of the area and make sure we had a great day.

I'm trying to decide on where to book a hotel. Are there any options to get to Delta Discovery from Queenstown or Glenorchy township without renting a car? If so, how much would I expect to spend? Any input would be appreciated!

Hi. Yes indeed, there is a great minibus service from Queenstown to Glenorchy. Please have a look at the Glenorchy Journeys website. The fare is about 25 dollars per person each way, and I can pick you up and drop you back in Glenorchy free of charge. Thanks.

About Glenorchy & Delta Discovery's 2 hour 4WD eco-friendly vehicle...... Is it possible to reach somewhere nearby this place in your own gasoline vehicle & just go for a hiking walk for 2 hours - without using the 4WD vehicle or any other polluting vehicle?

Hello. Yes, and the most popular options near here are the Lake Sylvan walk and the start of the Routeburn track, both popular walks, which are just 10 minutes up the road from the Dart Bridge. All the info is on the doc website. Thanks.
