Arrowtown is one of New Zealand's best-preserved gold-rush towns, with roughly 70 original buildings still lining its main street. When miners first arrived in the early 1860s the Wakatipu Basin was largely treeless, so they planted European deciduous trees around the Arrow River and the surrounding hills, species that have since self-seeded across the valley. That planting is why Arrowtown, of all places in the Southern Hemisphere, puts on one of the country's most photographed autumn displays each April, with an Autumn Festival timed to the turning leaves.
The gold that built this town was found in August 1862, when a prospector known as Māori Jack (Jack Tewa) discovered gold in the Arrow River. Within weeks an 800-strong mining camp had sprung up, and when much larger finds followed that October from the McGregor and Low party and from William Fox, the settlement briefly carried Fox's own name before being renamed Arrowtown. By the end of that year, well over a thousand miners were camped along the riverbank.
The Kawarau Bridge Lookout stop on this tour sits above the real birthplace of commercial bungy jumping. On 12 April 1988, AJ Hackett and Henry van Asch set up on this 1880s suspension bridge, 43 metres above the Kawarau River, and launched the sport's first-ever paying public jump — 28 people lined up on day one. More than 400,000 visitors now come to this exact spot each year, whether or not they're jumping.
Between the historic streetscape and the bridge, this fully private, customizable itinerary also takes in Queenstown Gardens, a lakeside peninsula park, and the Skyline Lookout above the town, both easy, scenic stops to shape the day around your own pace rather than a fixed schedule.
