Skippers Canyon Jeep Tour

Explore the places that experienced the Gold Rush in New Zealand on our Skippers Canyon Jeep Tour. Discover this historic period in a fun way!

Tour Description

On the day of the tour, we'll meet up at 37 Shotover Street, leave Queenstown and head to Skippers Canyon, a gorge that we'll explore in our jeep. Passing by Coronet Peak, we'll reach the entrance of the canyon and stop at Lighthouse Rock for panoramic views.

Next, we'll arrive at Skippers Suspension Bridge for photo opportunities. We'll exit the vehicle to visit Skippers School, where you’ll learn about the beginnings of the first gold prospectors' settlement through artefacts and photographs.

Afterwards, we’ll proceed to Deep Creek for a gold panning demonstration. Nearby, we'll visit locations that may be familiar from the scenes of a very famous movie saga.
