Today’s Queenstown adventure is with Nomad Safaris where we’re taking a Queenstown 4x4 tour!
We get picked up straight outside our hostel and meet our local guide driving a 4x4 off roading vehicle. We hop in and hit the road alongside Lake Wakatipu and towards Arrowtown. We stop along the way at a Lord of the Rings filming location at the Kawarau River to get our Lord of the Rings in Queenstown dose, then head to a secret viewpoint overlooking Queenstown, Arrowtown and Lake Hayes. Here, we learn more about the history of Queenstown.
Then it’s off to the off roading 4x4 tracks of Queenstown on the way down to Arrowtown and the Arrow River. We have an awesome off roading experience driving across the river several times before stopping to do some gold panning in Arrowtown.
After gold prospecting in Arrowtown, we then drive to the Skippers Road in Skippers Canyon, said to be one of the most dangerous roads in the world. It’s also one of the most scenic in our opinion.
So what do you think of a tour with Nomad Safaris in Queenstown? Would you do this 4x4 tour in Queenstown? LUK in the comments.

Four Wheel Drive Tour Queenstown New Zealand
For more information & to book:
Many years before Queenstown's reputation spread as an adventure resort, early settlers were drawn to this region by the lure of gold and the sheer rugged beauty of the country. Even today a great deal of this mountainous land remains unspoilt and uninhabited. Nomad Safaris provides the opportunity to see outback New Zealand as it was when the first pioneers set foot here.
With safari-equipped 4WD vehicles Nomad Safaris takes you to areas inaccessible by normal means, no coaches, no crowds, a true off-road adventure for those who choose not to follow the pack. We have a range of 4WD drive trips, check out the options below.
