At Remarkable Scenic Tours, we believe your time in Queenstown should be more than a typical sightseeing trip — it should be a deeply personal, memorable experience. Our passionate local guides bring Queenstown, Arrowtown, and the wider Otago region to life through rich storytelling, cultural insights, and hidden local treasures. Whether it’s your first time visiting or your tenth, our immersive tours invite you to discover the South Island like never before.

Personalised Experiences for Every Group

From couples to family gatherings and small tour groups of up to 26 guests, our private and small group tours are designed with flexibility in mind. We listen to what you want to see and do — creating a relaxed, enjoyable itinerary tailored to your interests, pace, and group size. You won’t feel rushed or herded around; instead, you'll enjoy quality time in each location with expert commentary and genuine local knowledge.

Walk Through History in Arrowtown and Beyond

Let us transport you back to the gold rush days as you wander Arrowtown’s heritage streets, where tales of fortune-seekers and early settlers echo through beautifully preserved buildings. Our guides share the lesser-known stories and local legends that make this region so rich in character — from Chinese miner settlements to filming locations for The Lord of the Rings.

Experience Real Local Culture

We go beyond the postcard views to connect you with the spirit of Central Otago. Meet talented local artisans, discover where the locals really eat, and soak up the laid-back charm of Queenstown’s surrounding villages. Depending on your tour, you may even witness a kapa haka performance or have a chance to taste seasonal produce and regional wines.

Picture-Perfect Moments in Nature

Queenstown’s landscapes are world-renowned for a reason — think mirror-like alpine lakes, jagged peaks, rolling hills, and iconic photo stops like the Wānaka Tree or Crown Range summit. Our comfortable European vehicles and thoughtfully timed stops mean you get to truly appreciate these natural wonders, not just drive by them.
