Whilst when travelling through New Zealand (God's own country), every day is a highlight and around every corner is something else to completely blow you away, we (four travelling companions) tried with great difficulty to narrow it down to one only thing that stood out more than the rest. With fierce competition from Huka Falls, a night out on the... More

We'd never heard of Skippers Canyon before we arrived in Queenstown but would now rate it way above the traditional highlights such as Milford Sound. The scenery was magnificent but the history and stories brought alive by our driver/guide really made it very special. The picnic stop was a real surpirise. This tour was an optional one included in a... More

Experienced this attraction as part of an organised tour of New Zealand by Scenic Tours. Malcolm Our driver Malcolm was a hoot, combining interesting information with humour. Well done Malcolm. Light refreshments provided at an interesting and suitable location. Spectacular scenery so don't forget your camera! The road used is narrow, winding and precariously situated on the canyon side but... More

I read the good reviews on Trip Advisor and decided to take this up. I'm glad I did. Arthur was our guide who drove us from our Queenstown motel to the canyon. There was my husband, myself and two other lovely ladies from Australia in the trip. As we entered the canyon, Arthur started telling us stories about how the... More

For me, this day was THE highlight of our Queenstown stay. We also went to Milford and Doubtful Sounds...I'd skip one or the other of those to do this... More

After being overwhelmed by the majestic scenery of New Zealand, an additional trip into a canyon may seem superfluous but it is not. 4 x 4 country and tracks, on breathtaking ledge roads and awsome scenery, one wonders at what driving force the pioneers had. The end of the outward journey is at an old school house where old pictures... More

The whole day was AWESOME, one of the best days of our NZ trip. Everyone on the tour was awestruck, and the commentary and history was great. Well worth the time and money. We will go again if back in NZ! More

We took this tour on our last day of the 7 days vacation in Queenstown. I contacted them via e-mail to book the tour one month before we went. We were worried about the weather the day before the tour because it started raining in the afternoon and did not stop when we went to bed at midnight. What a... More
