4.00I had a great half-day trip. It's a good way to see the highlights without having to drive yourself. The guide was friendly and gave us just the right amount of info. Plenty of time to enjoy the views. We also stopped at "Bradrona" nickname for the infamous Cardrona Bra Fence and we even got stuck on the road because of a huge flock of sheep crossing (such a classic New Zealand experience and honestly one of the best parts of the day!). Else, Wanaka was stunning (that lake and the famous tree are even better in person!), and Arrowtown was such a charming little place and a relaxed vibe. I’d definitely recommend this tour if you want an easy and fun way to discover both spots in one day.
Fun day had by all !

5.00We were picked up, and our driver introduced himself. There were only 5 of us in total on the tour which made for a very comfortable ride. The van was spacious and seats comfortable. We left Queenstown and headed towards the Crown Range with our tour guide giving some commentary on the way and a few funny "dad" jokes. We stopped for a photo stop at the top of Crown Range and then proceeded to Cardrona Hotel, for a complimentary ginger beer or lager plus plenty of time to look around. Then onto Wanaka to see the "Wanaka Tree" and time for lunch (at own expense) before we disembarked the tour here (the tour was then going to Arrowtown). We would highly recommend Remarkable Scenic Tours. The tour was relaxed but had the right amount of commentary and our drive Christopher was very professional and friendly.
Relaxing and enjoyable tour in charming towns
