Located in the heart of Otago, New Zealand, Going Blue offers the YourWay: Tiki Tour Otago—an entirely private, customizable touring experience that puts you in the driver’s seat of discovery. Centered around Queenstown, this immersive trip integrates the region’s iconic landscapes, historic highlights, and world-class wineries into a bespoke itinerary tailored to your interests.
Queenstown, often described as the adventure capital of the world, serves as the perfect launchpad. Towering peaks like The Remarkables cast dramatic shadows over Lake Wakatipu’s pristine blue waters, while steep gorges and gold rush relics recount Otago’s rugged heritage. Going Blue’s YourWay tour capitalizes on this rich palette by offering exclusive stops such as Arrowtown’s charming Chinese mining village, Bannockburn’s boutique vineyards, and the adrenaline hub of Arthur's Point.
What truly sets this tour apart is its flexibility. Guests choose from a curated list including wine tastings at Gibbston Valley and Mt Rosa wineries, lunch stops at renowned eateries like The Dishery in Arrowtown or Panner’s Restaurant in Kawarau Gorge, and nature walks at Lake Hayes or Moke Lake. Each stop includes insider tips and prioritized timing, curated by your dedicated driver-guide who brings local knowledge and subtle storytelling to every moment.
This private 3, 6, or 8-hour journey allows travelers not only to capture the quintessential Otago spirit but also to craft their own adventure narrative through intimate, less-traveled corners. For visitors seeking a blend of outdoor beauty and sophisticated leisure uniquely tailored to them, Going Blue’s YourWay: Tiki Tour Otago provides an unparalleled gateway into southern New Zealand’s wild and cultured backdrops.
