This is our most diverse full-day tour from Queenstown, packed with 13 stops and lots of time outside the vehicle. With a taste of everything \u2013 sightseeing, shopping, history and food, it\u2019s more comprehensive than any other Queenstown tour, perfect if you\u2019re short on time or don\u2019t want to be out driving every day. It\u2019s also a loop tour so you\u2019re never in the same place twice.<\/p>\n

Tour Highlights:<\/h2>\n

The ultimate way to see the region<\/h3>\n

We visit four historical mining locations and one of the world\u2019s top-10 holiday destinations, W\u0101naka, sharing fascinating stories and history, and our inside knowledge.<\/p>\n

Relax and explore at your pace<\/h3>\n

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.<\/p>\n

An inspiring full-day tour<\/h3>\n

We actually reckon this tour strikes the perfect balance between information and recreation \u2013 an invigorating full day that leaves you feeling inspired, not tired.<\/p>\n

Let us do the driving<\/h3>\n

Taste a local speciality, feel the local vibe, walk in the steps of early gold miners, and imagine an era pre-humans when moa roamed at the foot of the Crown Range. If it\u2019s winter, there might even be the opportunity to throw a snowball or two<\/p>\n
