About This Experience

The Goldrush Tour was created with one goal: to be Queenstown's most detailed historical experience

Travelling through Skippers Canyon with up to 11 guests, professionally produced documentary-style stories bring the history to life through a premium onboard audio system. Available in 8 languages, these stories deliver a level of historical detail impossible to achieve through traditional live commentary with multiple audio channels available, including music and dedicated children's storytelling

At the many photo stops, your local host shares fascinating historical photographs, answers questions, and provides additional insight into the landscape and its remarkable past. The tour concludes at a historic pub dating back more than 160 years, where you can enjoy a complimentary drink before returning to Queenstown

Lasting up to 4 hours, The Goldrush Tour offers an immersive way to discover the stories, scenery, and heritage that shaped one of New Zealand's most remarkable landscapes

Tour Itinerary

3 hours

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, our documentary-style stories will bring the region’s gold rush history to life, available in English, Spanish, German, French, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. You can be sitting next to someone totally immersed in the same stories as you, but in a different language. There are also 3 stations dedicated to music and 2 stations for children's stories. The full experience lasts between 3 and 4 hours, with plenty of photo stops along the way.

30 min

We finish the tour at a historic goldmining pub dating back over 160 years, where you can enjoy either a hot drink, or a beer/wine — all included in the price, before dropping you off back at your original pickup point.
