With a taste of everything – sightseeing, shopping, history and food, it’s more comprehensive than any other Queenstown tour, perfect if you’re short on time or don’t want to be out driving every day. It’s also a loop tour so you’re never in the same place twice.

Tour Highlights:

The ultimate way to see the region

We visit four historical mining locations and one of the world’s top-10 holiday destinations, Wānaka, sharing fascinating stories and history, and our inside knowledge.

Relax and explore at your pace

We give you over four hours out of the vehicle to stretch your legs. In fact, on all our tours we never drive more than half an hour without a stop.

Let us do the driving
