Great tour...but after being spoilt by the initial helicopter ride, a $300 gin shot at the top of the Cardrona ski field and a fantastic distillery tour nothing thereafter compared. Feedback would be - stop there ( at The Cardrona) with a meal and drinks and fly or drive back to pick up. The other x2 stops we're ok but just filled time when the first was head and shoulders above them. Less is definitely more.

This was a surprise Christmas gift from my partner and it absolutely blew me away. A spectacular helicopter flight to a mountain top to taste NZ’s most premier gin…. It doesn’t get much better than that! Bill and Ethan were both fantastic and knowledgeable. It’s a once in a lifetime experience and I couldn’t recommend it more highly. Thank you so much to the team for our GIN-ful and GIN-credible experience!

This tour is a once in a lifetime opportunity to experience Queenstown and some of the best gins in the world. The experience from start to finish was superb. From the helicopter tour to the top of Cardrona (thanks Bill) to the guided tour at each distillery with Ethan - it’s honestly the most memorable tour I’ve been on. In an industry that has been decimated over the past couple of years, it’s so great that unique tours like this have survived and continued to showcase the Queenstown area to the rest of the world. Couldn’t recommend it more for people that want to see and learn about gin, local and the stories behind the personalities that make them what they are.
