Embark on an unforgettable private tour combining the historic charm of Arrowtown with the raw adventure of Skippers Canyon Road. This exclusive experience offers the perfect balance of culture, nature, and adrenaline, all from the comfort of a premium 4WD Land Rover Defender hybrid.

Travel in Style: Land Rover Defender Plug-In Hybrid

Tour in the latest model Land Rover Defender hybrid, where rugged capability meets refined luxury.

It’s the perfect way to explore without compromising comfort or sustainability.

Step Back in Time: Arrowtown’s Gold Rush Heritage

Begin your day in Arrowtown, a beautifully preserved 19th-century village just outside Queenstown. Walk the cobbled streets, admire historic cottages, and explore the restored Chinese Settlement, where miners once sought their fortunes. Our guides will bring the stories to life, sharing tales of perseverance, gold fever, and multicultural history that shaped the region.

The Skippers Canyon Road Experience

Feel your heart race as we navigate Skippers Canyon Road, one of New Zealand’s most exhilarating and scenic drives. Hand-carved into the cliffs during the 1880s gold rush, this 22-kilometre gravel track winds high above the Shotover River, offering dramatic views and photo-worthy moments at every corner.

Often ranked among the most dangerous roads in the world, Skippers Canyon is not open to rental cars, but with Remarkable Scenic Tours, you’ll experience it safely and in style. Our experienced guides know every curve and cliff edge — sharing local legends, gold rush stories, and geological insights along the way.

Whether you’re drawn to historic sites, thrilling landscapes, or just want to see parts of Queenstown few others do, this private luxury tour delivers a rich and personalised experience. Ideal for couples, families, or small groups, your day is fully customisable to suit your pace and interests.
