Description

This immersive tour is designed for those who want to see and do more in less time—without compromising on quality. Travel in premium comfort as you take in breathtaking panoramas of Lake Wakatipu and the majestic Remarkables mountain range, whose jagged peaks have become iconic symbols of the region. Feel your pulse quicken as you visit the Kawarau Suspension Bridge, the historic birthplace of commercial bungy jumping. Watch brave souls leap into the abyss—or, if you’re feeling adventurous, take the plunge yourself. From there, indulge your senses with a wine tasting experience at the award-winning Gibbston Valley Winery, renowned for its world-class Pinot Noir and stunning vineyard setting. As you wind through the dramatic Kawarau Gorge, discover a cinematic surprise—the very location that brought the legendary Pillars of the Kings scene to life in Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings trilogy. The gorge offers commanding views over the Kawarau River and Coronet Peak, blending fantasy with natural grandeur. Step back in time with a visit to the charming gold rush village of Arrowtown. Nestled beside the Arrow River, this beautifully preserved township is a living museum, where 19th-century heritage buildings now house boutiques, artisan stores, and eclectic galleries. Explore the evocative Chinese Miners’ Village, offering insight into the hardships and hopes of early Chinese settlers, or dive deeper into the region’s past at the Lakes District Museum. Your adventure concludes with a scenic return via Cavell’s Bridge, spanning the icy blue waters of the Shotover River. For the grand finale, you have the exhilarating option to cap off your tour with a high-speed jet boat ride through the narrow canyons of the Shotover—a heart-pounding experience that epitomises Queenstown’s spirit of adventure.
