Start with the View
Start your day meeting your friendly guide in the Queenstown Town Centre. From
here we start our sightseeing with a short drive to the top of Queenstown
Hill, where we take in the iconic viewpoint showing off the town and famous
backdrop.
Explore Historic Arrowtown
Enjoy the scenic drive out past the famous Shotover River, where we watch jet
boats speed through canyons, before passing under Coronet Peak ski field on
the drive to Arrowtown. In Arrowtown, we allow you free time to explore this
adorable mining village. Join our guide for gold panning, or take one of our
maps and explore on your own, visiting the famous Arrowtown Bakery, and local
gift stores, or stock up on treats from the Remarkable Sweet Shop.
Bungy Jumps & Pinot Noir
From here we continue our journey to the Gibbston wine region, a stretch of
road lined with vines and home to world-famous Pinot Noir. Our first stop
takes us on a thrilling turn, visiting the Kawarau Bungy Bridge, the home of
Bungy jumping and a great spot to watch the fearless (or jump, if you are
brave enough!), before visiting The Church for a wine tasting and shared
cheese board.
Finish with a Cruise
The journey doesn't finish there. After heading back toward Queenstown, we
meet a boat charter in the Frankton Marina, which will take you on a guided
25-minute lake cruise on Lake Whakatipu showing you the sights from the water
before dropping you off back in Queenstown Bay in the Queenstown Town Centre.
