Arrowtown Wanaka Platinum Tour
If you want to see beautiful sceneries around Queenstown, join the ‘Platinum Arrowtown Wanaka tour’ by Remarkable Scenic Tours. The tour is packed with many beautiful places, interesting sights, lots of photo opportunities, delicious morning tea at Cromwell, a drink at Cardrona Hotel plus the best fruit shop ever. The vehicle was comfortable and easy to get in and out (especially for the elderly) . Wayne has lots of knowledge and humorous. Highly recommended!!!

“A must do tour! You will be in good hands with your tour guide, Wayne. Full of knowledge a local, you can’t go wrong. You're feel safe with him. Driving you around on those roads over those mountains. A comfortable vehicle. He gave us tips for our trip to Milford sound the next day that was very useful”

Arrowtown Wanaka Platinum Tour
Amazing day trip around Wanaka and Arrowtown! Kathy was our tour guide and her storytelling and narrative style was so easy going and not too overwhelming at all. We stopped at so many scenic spots and also for photos (not to mention the timely toilet stops as well), it was really nice, esp. considering it's a full day trip so lots of stops ensures you get fresh air and a change of scene every next stop. She also shouted us morning tea on the way and also chilled ginger beer at Cardrona Hotel for which we were lucky as they have really long queues! She's super kind, loves a good yarn and really knowledgeable about the history of the land - mountains, rivers, gold rush and so on and on... and just a really nice person overall! She even helped us frame the good shots when the people in our tour group were helping each other with taking each others' photos. Totally worth it AAA+++

Arrowtown and Wanaka Private Tour
Best camera shots and awesome historical stories that we felt the Soul of the towns not just the sceneries!
Wayne Hanson made us all feel at home & part of the locals!
Best part? Wayne made awesome suggestions on adjusting our itinerary based on what was best to handle what we were challenged with. On our first day the road to Wanaka was closed due to a horrible accident. We had a great time to Cromwell Cherry Picking and Arrowtown!
Wayne always gives us an overview of what to expect, time we have for each spots yet flexible & never ever felt hurried! Wayne has witty sense of humour and was so personable that we felt he is a brother showing us a great time within two days! Most of all Wayne taught us a lot different posing shots! And takes group pictures!
Best advise? Trust & Respect & be open minded! your guide is your experts! Wayne advised us the best place to eat! Great value! We had freedom to go wherever & were opened minded to try local food.
Note: Kiwis are truly kind & honest, they recommend places to shop and eat based on their expert knowledge & experience! Unlike overseas, they do not benefit for recommending these areas, they don’t get commissions as such! They just want to help their own locals & truly want to give you the chance to try locals! It’s still your choice.
Thank you so so much Wayne Hanson! We will be back! and we can’t stop raving about how you truly took cared of us! 7 noisy loud women! 😜 Thank you so so much for our “poses”!!! & awesome pictures!!! 🙏🥰🙏🥰

Wayne was our tour guide and was very kind and accomodating. He was full of knowledge on key historical events that took place in Queenstown, Arrowtown etc. we loved his stories as well. Overall a very kind and genuine individual who has many good jokes and puns to share - would definitely recommend this tour!

Arrowtown Wanaka Highlights Tour
We had a great half day out, so much packed in to It! We came equipped with bras to add to the BRAdrona (bra fence), saw the Wanaka tree, stopped in for a drink at the famous Cardrona Hotel, got snowed on at the Crown range summit and ate apple and rhubarb crumble in Arrowtown. Beautiful scenery and many photo opportunities. Wayne , driver and guide was very knowledgable about the places we visited and look out for his sense humor! Highly recommend!

This is our first time visiting Queenstown, I'm glad we did the half-day tour with Kathy.
Kathy is not like any other tour guide; she is full of the story to share with us and in the meantime, you just felt like you are traveling with your friends. During this tour not only get to know the history of the place we visited, but Kathy also helped us took a lot of sunny photos! what can you ask for more :)
I definitely will recommend everyone should go on a tour with Remarkable Scenic Tours
Daphne
Milford Sound Private Tour
Oh wow, Wayne and Kathy are the BEST tour guides ever! They made our New Zealand trip the most amazing trip we’ve ever taken. Very accommodating and picked nothing but stellar places for us to stay for the 10 days we were there. Provided all of our transportation needs from Auckland down to Queenstown which made it easy for us. Communing by phone, texts and emails from the US were a breeze. They both are amazing and work great together to make your travel plans phenomenal. Would use them and refer them to anyone any time! Thanks so much😊
