Your Experience

From Queenstown to Arrowtown- a Marvelous Journey

Embark on your day filled with scenic beauty and fun activities with a local guide in Arrowtown from Queenstown. With your guide, the secrets of this 9th-century gold-mining settlement will unveil themselves, thus making the tour even more enticing. The spectacular view of Lake Wakatipu, Queenstown's crown jewel, surrounded by the painting-like mountains will kickstart your tour on a great note! As if the gorgeous scenery was not enough to appreciate mother nature, a quick stop at the buzz-worthy Buzzstop Bee & Honey Centre, a fascinating family-friendly working honey farm and cafe, will leave you with a new-found appreciation for bees. From here, en route to Arrowtown includes a stoppage at Lake Hayes that treats your eyes to a gorgeous view of the shimmering water reflecting the sky and the majestic snow-capped mountains.

Discover Arrowtown Like Never Before

The outskirts of Arrowtown will greet you with the restored huts of the Chinese Village that reveal the modest lifestyles of the Chinese miners in the mid-1800s. Walk past the Gaol used as a schist jail, as your guide narrates the stories of this postcard-picture-perfect town. As you reach Arrowtown, get the opportunity to stretch your legs and explore the place on your own. Shop for souvenirs, taste the best of New Zealand wine at the local vineyards and try the town's delicacies so you can take a piece of this beautiful experience back with you. A visit to the Kawerau Bridge, a famous Lord of the Rings movie scene location makes for the best ending to this tour.
