Day 1
First impressions count
Land in Queenstown, collect your luggage and jump straight onto a helicopter. There is no better way to get your bearings than seeing Queenstown from the top of a mountain with the snow at your feet and a glass of champagne in your hand.
Day 2
Explore the area by land
Take a tour offering gold panning, a taste of NZ's pioneer gold mining history, 4WD river crossings, and a great overview of the diverse scenery of the Queenstown/Arrowtown area. From towns, to rolling farmland, rugged canyons, spectacular mountain scenery, and famous scenes from The Lord of the Rings. You will also venture into Skippers Canyon which was hacked by hand into the sheer cliff sides of the Shotover River valley.
Day 3
Relaxation and Retail Therapy
Today take a stroll into Queenstown to get a feel for this vibrant town. Visit the shops to stock up on souvenirs or find that boutique gift to remind you of your time in Queenstown. Alternatively explore the Queenstown Gardens and enjoy the beautiful blooms, whether its tulips in spring or the roses of summer.
Refresh back at your hotel in the afternoon and find a couple of hours to book a massage or skin treatment or even a slow and steady yoga class to ease out those aches from your shopping trip.
Day 4
Wine tour and gala dinner
Central Otago wine country spreads from the outskirts of Queenstown’s Wakatipu Basin through picturesque valleys and dramatic gorges to the rolling vine-clad foothills of Bannockburn and beyond. Travel from Queenstown to the Gibbston Valley and through to the Bannockburn and Cromwell region, the heart of the Central Otago wine country.
Finish the wine tour at Gibbston Valley Winery to celebrate your last evening in Queenstown. Gibbston Valley Winery offer a full range of amenities that are sure to please any group. A visit to Gibbston Valley isn’t complete without a unique wine tasting tour through New Zealand’s largest and most innovative wine cave, the perfect experience for a special evening.
Day 5
The options are endless
Haven’t ticked all those items off your bucket list yet. Well now is your time. This last day in Queenstown is a great opportunity for your group to choose an activity of their choice. To name a few why not offer hot air ballooning, quad biking, horse riding or rafting.
