Tour Description

On the day of the tour, we'll meet up at 37 Shotover Street, leave Queenstown behind and head to Skippers Canyon, a spectacular gorge that we'll explore in our jeep. As we pass by Coronet Peak, we'll make our way up to the entrance of this monumental canyon and stop at Lighthouse Rock. From this spot, we'll admire fantastic panoramic views.

Next, we'll come to Skippers Suspension Bridge where you'll be able to take some photos of the scenery. We'll also hop out of the vehicle to visit Skippers School, where you'll learn about the beginnings of the first gold prospectors' settlement from artefacts and photographs.

Afterwards, we'll head to Deep Creek to see a gold panning demonstration. Nearby, we'll see some places that you might recognise from the scenes of a very famous movie saga...
