Remarkable Scenic Tours
Unforgettable Small Group and Private Tours from Queenstown
Queenstown Locals, Sharing the South Island We Know Best
We’re a Queenstown-based family business, and these are the landscapes we know, love, and guide through every day. Remarkable Scenic Tours was created to offer a more personal way to explore, relaxed, local, and never rushed.
Whether you join one of our small-group tours or travel privately with your own guide, we’ll show you more than the main photo stops. From Arrowtown and Wānaka to Aoraki / Mount Cook and Milford Sound, our journeys are shaped with local stories, thoughtful stops, comfortable vehicles, and the kind of places you only learn about by living here.

Why Travel With Us?
Looking for a more genuine, locally guided way to experience the South Island?
At Remarkable Scenic Tours, we share the places we call home, not just the highlights on a map. Based in Queenstown, our local guides bring the South Island to life through stories, landscapes, and those small details that make a journey feel personal.
From Arrowtown’s gold-rush history to quiet alpine lakes and the wild beauty of Fiordland, our tours are relaxed, unhurried, and shaped by real local knowledge. It’s not about ticking boxes — it’s about slowing down, feeling connected, and taking home memories that truly last.
