Just as the early miners did in the 1860s, you’ll set off from Queenstown’s town centre, travel through the stunning Queenstown Gorge, and deep into the heart of Skippers Canyon.
Along the way, GPS-activated stories, professionally narrated by three voice actors, will bring the region’s gold rush history to life — giving you insights and stories while your expert driver/guide focuses on navigating the dramatic alpine road ahead.
You’ll see popular filming locations (including ‘The Lord of the Rings’, ‘Mission: Impossible’ and ‘A Remarkable Place to Die’) – and if you’re travelling with kids, they’ll also benefit from dedicated stations with children’s storytelling and music.
Allow 3 to 4 hours for this unique experience, including time to take plenty of photos along the way, and a stop at a local pub for a drink (included in the price of your tour).
Did you know? The team at The Goldrush Tour had translated their GPS-activated stories into languages other than English – and more are coming. We love this for our international travellers.
