The Goldrush Tour
About
The Goldrush Tour was launched in 2025 with one clear goal: to be Queenstown's most detailed historical tour. Travelling in our luxury 4WD vehicle as part of a small group of up to 11 guests, you will follow the same route once taken by early gold miners as the road winds through the Queenstown Gorge and partway up Coronet Peak, where it meets the Skippers Road and dives into the heart of Skippers Canyon to follow the Shotover River.
Along the way, documentary-style stories are available in 8 languages through a high-quality audio system, giving a depth of detail that would be impossible to achieve through traditional live commentary. It also means you can be sitting on the same bus as someone, enjoying the exact same stories as you, but in a completely different language
