Queenstown More Than A Wine Tour
Our Queenstown More Than A Wine Tour is not so much about swirling, sniffing and chatting about gooseberries, oak and tannins. It’s more an opportunity to soak up some extraordinary scenery and discover the amazing flavours of Central Otago.
We love to showcase our wine and local cheese/food.
If the Mountain is more for you, think champagne in the snow!
Afterwards enjoy the Cardrona Distillery and Hotel for some mulled Wine and marshmallows.
This tour is for anyone wanting some private time, romantic and special or thrill seeking time. Wine, whiskey, beer, gin, food, mountain biking, snowboarding/skiing, hiking.
This is your day so the itinerary is set precisely to blow away your expectations. Others say "this was hands down one of the best days of our lives" "We cant wait to come back and do this again with friends" "Every moment was spectacular" "We loved every second" "We loved our guide, she looked after all our needs and requirements, she made the day so special" "We will be back"

The Ultimate Lake Dunstan Bike Hire And Boat Experience
This trail travels alongside Lake Dunstan on the opposite side of the lake to the road that travels between Cromwell and Clyde.
The engineering involved to create this trail is stunning with 450m of clip-ons attached to the rockface in places, the Hugo Suspension Bridge plus a very good trail surface throughout the ride.
The views and scenery on this ride are fantastic and you can fully understand the history of the area - from the goldrush to the building of NZ's largest dam - from the information boards along the way.
The Dunstan Explorer Boat return is a brilliant way to return back up the lake and explore areas of the trail that you would not have seen from your bike.
Our company actively works with the Dunstan Explorer to deliver outstanding experiences for our guests.
