This was one of the best tours that we did in our three weeks in New Zealand. We enjoyed the scenic drive and the views overlooking Lake Wakatipu. Seeing bungy jumpers at Gibbston was a laugh and taking a look at the Shotover River and then visiting Arrowtown which was a really pretty place. We enjoyed a latte in the Terra Mia Italian Cafe.
We were driven into the country outside of Arrowtown which was absolutely stunning and then we were taken to the Kinross Winery. This was a lovely experience where we tasted various wines complimented with cheese and biscuits.
To finish the tour we were dropped off to take a water taxi on the lake to take us back to Queenstown where we had a fantastic view of the Remarkables.
A five star experience!
