What you can expect

To experience the real Queenstown, you need to leave the highway behind. Join Off Road 4x4 Queenstown for a private half-day tour through the legendary Skippers Canyon, a place steeped in history and surrounded by dramatic alpine scenery.

The adventure continues to Arrowtown Village, a charming gold rush town, and along the Arrow River, where untouched landscapes and rich heritage combine for an unforgettable experience.
