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.

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.
