Hook | Wanaka

WhatsApp Image 2024-07-07 at 2.53.09 PM.jpeg

A favourite with our team, Hook is the perfect 'down day' activity. A hook to fork experience, catch a salmon and let the onsite chef prepare it for you.

 

They also have mini golf, delicious pizza, and a bar onsite.

Private Wine Tour & Lunch

Sip your way through the 'valley of the vines' with a Private Wine Tour. Renowned as one of the finest wine regions in New Zealand (and around the world), our private guide will show you a taste of the region. We’ll be your designated driver for the day, allowing you to sit back and sip away on private wine tastings at each spot.​

 

Option to add a winery lunch.​

 

Winery locations include Wanaka, Gibbston, Lowburn, Cromwell, and Banockburn.

AJ Hackett Bungy

Being the adventure capital of the world, it’s only right that Queenstown is home to the original Bungy. Take a leap from the same bridge AJ Hackett did all those years ago.

 

This is the perfect add on to any Queenstown experience day or to kick off your Gibbston Wine Tour.

Scenic Horse Trek

Horse Riding in the Valley

Saddle up for a scenic horse trek and picnic lunch. 

Based at beautiful Moke Lake, a short drive from Queenstown, you'll gain private access some of New Zealand’s most tranquil and picturesque trails, hidden away from the crowds. Take a break and soak in the views over a picnic lunch before riding back to base. 

A Horse Trek makes for a beautiful and unique scenic tour of the region. 
 

Boutique Shopping

Indulge in a day of boutique shopping, starting with Wanaka’s charming selection of New Zealand designer stores, then venture over the Crown Range to historic Arrowtown.

 

This picturesque village is home to independent art galleries, Pounamu (jade) and locally sourced gold stores, vintage sweet shops with homemade fudge, and unique gifts you won’t find anywhere else. It’s the perfect outing to pair with a long lunch at Ayrburn, perfume making class, or a relaxing soak at the Onsen hot pools in Queenstown.

Onsen Hot Pools & Spa

Famous for their outdoor tubs, stunning mountain views, and with a full spa on site, Onsen is the place to really rest and recover. Whether you’re planning a day of self-care or a couples spa day - a half day at Onsen will ease all your aches and pains.

 

Distillery Tour & Tasting

Another favourite with our team is a private tour of Cardrona Distillery.

Creators of award winning whisky, gins, vodka, and liqueurs, and with one of the finest restaurants onsite, this isn't one to be missed. Learn from the distillers themselves as you take a tour of the working distillery.

A visit isn’t complete without a private tasting of Cardrona’s spirits. We recommend dining at the Distillery.

Shotover Jet

One for the thrill-seekers! The Shotover Jet is an iconic Queenstown experience. Take in the scenic valley views and your Jet Boat driver sprints down the famous Shotover River - throwing in a few 360 degree spins of course.

After the adrenaline rush, enjoy a local craft beer at the neighboring Canyon Brewery.

Perfume Making Workshop

Craft your own signature scent with a 2.5-hour workshop at a beautiful Queenstown Fragrance Studio. Guided by expert perfumers, you’ll explore a curated selection of 60 premium fragrance notes – from Jasmine, Rose, and Green Tea to Vanilla, Sandalwood, Oud, and Tobacco. Learn the art of balancing top, middle, and base notes before blending your very own 30ml bottle of bespoke eau de parfum to take home. A unique and luxurious experience perfect for a little self-care while the hunters are in the hills.
