Nomad Safaris Booking Form.

Nomad Safaris, operating out of Queenstown, New Zealand, offer small (max. 6 people per guide), personalised tours into NZ back country, exploring historic gold mining areas, some of the locations of Lord of The Rings filming and an exclusive high-country farm. They use fully-equipped Land Rover Defenders to handle all terrain for their 4WD safari tours.
Skippers Canyon:
Skippers Canyon Road was hacked by hand into the shear cliff sides of the Shotover River Valley, following the discovery of gold in the Queenstown area in 1862. They follow Skippers Road, with every hairpin bend, across the historic suspension bridge, opened in 1901, to the old gold mining township of Skippers. This tour offers spectacular mountain scenery, rugged canyons, gold panning to gain a taste of NZ's pioneer gold mining history, and the excitement of the 4WD in a safe environment and much, much more.
Macetown:
Macetown is a gold rush ghost town originating from the late 1800s. Macetown is situated 40km from Queenstown and 20km up the Arrow Gorge from Arrowtown. The history of New Zealand's early European settlement began in remote places like this. What remains is authentic, from the actual houses the settlers lived in, to the machinery and implements left behind when Macetown was abandoned.
Shotover Jet Gold Combo:
Nomad Safaris have combined with Shotover Jet to offer visitors an exciting Jet Boat ride through the Shotover Canyons combined with a 4WD experience. Take the unique breathtaking ride through the Canyons with Shotover Jet, then experience a 4 wheel drive tour into New Zealand's back country.
Here you will experience some of the above tours through the Gold Mining area of the Arrow River and film locations used in Lord of the Rings. Travel the rugged road and experience true off-roading as you explore the pioneer trails guided by the professional guides. This is a great way of combining two top tour activities in the one day, saving both time and money.
