Gold Seeker is an amazing experience in the abandoned gold mining areas of
Queenstown. Using two of the most spectacular Roads in the world, the tour
encompasses breath taking scenery, exhilaration off-road driving, amazing
history along with great refreshments and an opportunity to find real “wild”
gold.
Near Arrowtown you will experience a true off road adventure. Following a
historic gold mining road up the Arrow River you will cross the river many
times to get to the Ford of Bruinen. At this point you can indulge in morning
or afternoon tea and try your hand at a spot of gold panning. From Arrowtown
you will travel to the entrance of Skippers Canyon where you will be offered
spectacular panoramic views of the Wakatipu Basin and into Skippers Canyon.

This tour was much more focused on 4x4 driving and sightseeing, the gold seeking was really an afterthought. We considered it overpriced at $110NZD an hour to go for a drive. However the tour guide was very nice and it was fun. Anyone would struggle to keep a poker face driving through a river and up and down muddy banks. If, like us, you are genuinely interested in learning how to pan for gold though, don't bother
