Day 22
Breakfast: Served at the hotel beginning at 7am, and featuring a selection of hot and cold dishes. Morning: Around 9am, we will depart on a 1.5-hour walking tour of Queenstown with our Trip Experience Leader to orient ourselves with this vibrant city. Our tour concludes at the gondola, where our small group will take a scenic 10-minute ride to the top. This panoramic vantage point offers sweeping views of Coronet Peak, The Remarkables, Walter and Cecil Peak and, of course, the city. You will have about 2 hours of free time once we reach the top. Maybe you will have a hot chocolate, and take in the views, or go for a stroll on the many walking trails. Lunch: On your own near the viewpoint. Perhaps you’ll dine and take in more of the view at the Stratosfare Restaurant and Bar featuring Kiwi and international options. Or, for something lighter, venture to the Market Kitchen Café. Afternoon: Following lunch around 1pm, we will reconvene to depart for a 45-minute drive via local bus to Arrowtown. An old gold rush town, this charming destination offers streets laden in gold mining history and also quaint shops. Upon arrival around 1:45pm, our Trip Experience Leader will bring us on a brief walking tour, and then, we will have about 2 hours to explore the shops or discover local history on our own. We will board our bus back to Queenstown a little before 4pm. Dinner: On your own following our return from Arrowtown. Perhaps you'll try local favorites like the pork belly sausage roll from Fergbaker restaurant or the Southland cheese roll—white bread with a mix of cheeses, French onion soup powder, and evaporated milk rolled and fried in butter. Evening: The remainder of the evening is free for you to explore on your own. Relax and retire to your room, or join fellow travelers at the hotel bar to recap your day’s discoveries. |
