Best of Queenstown Scenic Tour

We’re excited to introduce our refreshed Best of Queenstown Tour, launching in September 2026.

This relaxed 4-hour sightseeing experience showcases the very best of the Whakatipu Basin, taking guests beyond the Queenstown town centre to discover the region’s stunning scenery, rich history, vibrant local culture, and renowned wine.

Highlights include - breathtaking panoramic viewpoints high above Queenstown, followed by a visit to Queenstown’s newest destination, Ayrburn, where guests will enjoy free time to explore the grounds and a complimentary barista-made coffee or hot beverage.

The journey continues to historic Arrowtown, where guests can step back in time and learn about the region’s gold mining heritage, with the opportunity to try their hand at gold panning.

No introduction to Queenstown would be complete without experiencing the region’s world-famous wines. The tour concludes with a relaxed wine tasting and cheese platter at a local vineyard, providing the perfect taste of Central Otago.

Operating daily from 9:00am – 1:00pm, with departures from central Queenstown and selected Queenstown hotels, this tour is the perfect introduction to Queenstown for first-time visitors and those looking for a relaxed half-day experience.
