Journey back in time to the 1860s with a unique Queenstown gold rush tour. Travelling through the stunning Queenstown Gorge and deep into the heart of Skippers Canyon.
Set off from Queenstown just as the early miners did back in the 1860s, as you and an intimate tour group travel deep into the heart of Skippers Canyon. Journey through the scenic South Island landscape with breathtaking views of Queenstown Gorge as gold rush history comes alive around you. With GPS activated, professionally narrated historic tales and alternative audio tracks, including dedicated channels for kids, playing as you go. You can sit back and absorb it all as your expert driver and guide navigates the dramatic alpine roads with ease.
Witness the full glory of the region with detailed insights into historical points of interest. Spot iconic filming sites and make the most out of idyllic photo locations with plenty of stops along the way. Be immersed in the rich gold mining history and the scenic delights this unique tour delivers. Finish your expedition with a stop at Gantley Tavern, a historic gold mining pub dating back over 160 years, and enjoy a complimentary beverage as you celebrate an incredible adventure back in time. An alternative way to see the unforgettable Queenstown sights, perfect for travellers, families and history buffs alike.

That’s 10% of the Australian population! When we started ‘doing’ experiences in 2001, Facebook didn’t exist; the iPod had just been invented; John Howard was Prime Minister; and Destiny's Child were popular (yikes!). We’ve been at this business of experiences for quite a while, so put your trust in us to show you a good time.
