Description

Cette visite patrimoniale d'une demi-journée en 4x4 explore le spectaculaire Skippers Canyon, suivant l'historique Skippers Road, construit à la main pendant la ruée vers l'or d'Otago et creusé dans les falaises au-dessus de la rivière Shotover. Voyagez avec un Guide local expérimenté qui navigue sur cette route remarquable tout en partageant les histoires des pionniers et des mineurs qui ont façonné la région. Profitez de multiples arrêts pittoresques et historiques dans tout le canyon, y compris des points de vue sur l'emblématique pont suspendu Skippers et d'autres sites d'orpaillage importants. Apprenez-en davantage sur les débuts de la vie dans le canyon à travers des histoires locales et des images historiques, avant d'essayer les techniques traditionnelles de panoramique de l'or sur l'une des rivières aurifères les plus riches de la région. Veuillez noter que l'accès au pont Skippers est actuellement fermé en raison de travaux d'entretien et de sécurité à long terme. Par conséquent, l'accès à l'école et au cimetière est également indisponible. Les visites fonctionnent maintenant vers les points autorisés dans le canyon, avec d'autres arrêts panoramiques et historiques inclus.

Awesome experience

This tour was fantastic, especially as we’re LOTR fans. We had the lovely Jodie driving us around and she did a superb job. Very informative, took us to some very scenic spots and pointed out the movie spots along with photos. The best bit was the off-roading where we went through rivers and up and down gullies. I would highly recommend this trip!

Réponse de l'opérateur

We're over the moon to hear that your adventure with Jodie was such a hit! Her passion for combining breathtaking scenic spots and detailed film knowledge with that exhilarating off-road experience really makes for a day to remember. The off-roading thrills of tackling rivers and gullies definitely add a special touch, especially for fans like you.
