Located on the north shores of Lake Wakatipu, this small settlement is full of character and charm, both of the local and Middle Earth variety. Take in some of the most famous and scenic sights of the region, tuck into a class Kiwi morning tea and be entertained by the local stories and film history from your expert local guide.

Salubrious Tour

Blake 12 August 2019

From Pick up to drop off with our guide Podge was a great experience the tour was very in-depth, comfortable and a nice picnic & hot chocolate and New Zealand treats on the foreshore. Worth the experience and would put on the must do list in Queenstown.
