Queenstown Locals, Sharing the South Island We Know Best
We’re a Queenstown-based family business, and these are the landscapes we know, love, and guide through every day. Remarkable Scenic Tours was created to offer a more personal way to explore the South Island, relaxed, local, and never rushed.
Whether you join one of our small-group tours or travel privately with your own guide, we’ll show you more than the main photo stops. From Milford Sound and Aoraki / Mount Cook to Arrowtown and Wānaka, our private tours are designed around flexibility, genuine local insight, and the ease of travelling in spacious European touring vehicles.
