Best of Queenstown Tour

We believe that no trip to Queenstown is complete without taking in some incredible views, visiting Arrowtown, sampling incredible local wine and getting out on the water so we’ve hand-picked the top local spots.

Our Best of Queenstown sightseeing has a convenient central Queenstown pick-up. Join us for a fully-guided sightseeing tour in a premium vehicle with complimentary wifi. Your first stop is an incredible observation point above lake Wakatipu with incredible views down the lake and of the Remarkables mountain range. Arguably best panoramic views in Queenstown.

Next you will head to Arthurs Point where you will see the Edith Cavell Bridge and the Shotover River, rich with gold mining history and home to the worlds most exciting jet boat ride.

After capturing some incredible photos, you’ll continue your tour of wider Queenstown, heading to charming township of Arrowtown, where you can explore this quiet town. With approx. 45 minutes to explore, grab a coffee from a local cafe, stroll the Main Street and shops, or try your hand in gold panning.

After Arrowtown, you’ll travel to the Gibbston region and visit the world’s first commercial bungy jump offering entertaining spectating and the opportunity to jump – at an additional cost. The region is also home to some Lord of the Rings film locations and is famous for its world class wines.

We will head to a local cellar door where you can enjoy wine tasting and cheeseboard (with non-alcoholic substitutes available) at a local winery in a beautiful setting with views over the vines.

We’re not finished yet – on the way back to Queenstown transfer from land to lake with a picturesque thirty minute scenic boat cruise on Lake Wakatipu ending back where you started your tour, in the heart of town.

This tour is perfect for first-time visitors to Queenstown, those on a tight schedule, or anyone looking for a well-curated experience of the basin.

If the boat portion is canceled—typically due to adverse weather—your tour will return to town by road, and you’ll receive complimentary access to Time Tripper, an immersive underwater theatre in the heart of Queenstown. This unique experience takes you back in time to explore the creation and rich history of this stunning destination.
