Prepare to be spellbound by the beauty of Queenstown and surroundings on this half day tour. Visit the charming township of Arrowtown, Gibbston for a guided wine tasting and cheese platter at a local winery and finish the day with a breathtaking scenic boat cruise on Lake Whakatipu.
This Queenstown sightseeing tour will wow you with short visits to the best handpicked locations, creating an epic half-day experience for all ages. Start your day off with a central pick up and travel in style and comfort in a premium Mercedes van to your first observation point of the day, capturing the best panoramic views of Queenstown.
Travelling out of Queenstown, passing over the iconic Shotover River, you will shortly arrive in the historic gold mining township of Arrowtown. Here you'll have time to browse the boutique shops and taste the renowned local bakery pies or join your guide at the arrow river for gold panning.
Continue the journey to Gibbston for another scenic stop and a brief visit to the world’s first commercial bungy, the AJ Hackett Kawarau Bridge bungy to watch it in action or try it for yourself (additional cost). The region is also home to some Middle-earth magic (Lord of the Rings film locations).
While in the Gibbston wine region, home to world-famous Pinot Noir we visit The Church for a wine tasting and shared cheese platter. To top off this incredible day, finish with a 30 minute scenic boat cruise on Lake Whakatipu, ending your tour at the wharf in the heart of town.
