The Crown Range Road, the real route this private tour takes between Queenstown and Wanaka, is New Zealand's highest sealed road, climbing to 1,076 metres through a series of steep hairpin bends with sweeping views back over the Wakatipu Basin. It's a spectacular drive, but a genuinely demanding one for a visiting driver — the road can ice over in winter and sometimes requires snow chains — which is exactly the kind of route this tour's own confirmed private-driver format is built to take off your hands.
Gibbston Valley, the tour's other real stop, is one of Central Otago's earliest and best-known wine-growing areas, with vineyards planted along a narrow river gorge at an elevation and climate well suited to Pinot Noir. It sits just along the Kawarau River from the bungy-jumping bridge, within the same stretch of gorge country the road winds through on the way out of Queenstown.
Arrowtown itself, this tour's confirmed stop at the town's gold-mining settlement, traces back to a gold strike in the Arrow River in 1862 that drew well over a thousand miners within months — the preserved streetscape you'll walk through today is a direct legacy of that rush.
The Crown Range then carries you on to free time in Wanaka, a separate lakeside town roughly 70 kilometres and just over an hour's drive from Queenstown by this route, giving you time on the lake front at your own pace before the private drive back.
