  • A mountain adventure

    A safe, exhilarating and fun mainly off road trip. Our driver and guide, Del drove us through the Arrow river. We bumped our way up the mountain tracks to spectacular views all around. We watched bungy jumping and even tried our hand at panning for gold in the Arrow river. We were offered delicious coffee served from flasks and homemade carrot cakes and biscuits. A thoroughly entertaining and highly recommended adventure!

  • Outstanding!

    We spent a fantastic afternoon on this tour. Dan our tour guide was terrific. Very knowledgeable on Lord of the Rings , an expert on the whole area around Queenstown and he was a great driver 😅 We would recommend this tour highly.

  • Probably best for the diehard LOTR fans

    Guide was friendly. We were looking forward to this excursion, and it was fine, but probably over-priced and over-hyped. The trip involved more driving than expected and the sight lines out of the vehicle from the second and third row of seats were not good for anyone over 5’ 8” tall. The still photos helped visualize the locations. Looking at the photos posted by others, it seems like we didn’t see all of the sights We were not offered the opportunity to pan for gold. We saw four pans in the back of the 4x4, but when we brought up the topic, we were told gold panning is illegal without a permit. /

  • Much more that a Lord of the Rings tour!

    Although this is labeled a Lord of the Rings tour, it is much, much more that that. Upon leaving Queenstown, after about 5 minutes, we were literally at the top of one of the roads when we pulled over and were shown a few of the scenes. I couldn't believe how the 'movie magic' managed to shoot so close to the town and still make it look deserted. After that we went through Arrowtown. A quaint, but beautiful town. A few of out family, went back for a more through browse the following day. From there, we did some 'four wheel driving' through one of the local rivers. This, for our kids (and the bigger kids) was the highlight. We also panned for gold. Then drove down on one of the 'skinniest' roads in New Zealand for a few fantastic photo ops. (Skippers Canyon). This is definitely one for the local drivers only to attempt. The tour would not have been half as good without the 2 tour guides that took our family. Massive shout out to Dan and Jodie. They were the right balance of fun/engaging and seriousness. Keeping the tour rolling along with their knowledge of both Lord of the Rings and the local area.

  • Great tour - highly recommend

    Gold and Lord of the Rings "Thank you for a wonderful and magnificent 4x4 tour around Queenstown and the surrounding area. The views were spectacular, and the ride was... let’s just say 'pleasantly bumpy' :-)) as we navigated through rivers and challenging terrain. Our guide, Hannah, is a truly skilled driver who handled the landscape with ease. She has a great sense of humor and is an excellent storyteller, sharing the local history in a way that was both engaging and informative. A fantastic experience all around."
