Overview
Follow in the footsteps of 1860s gold miners on an epic full-day 4WD journey from Queenstown to Arrowtown. Visit the Lakes District Museum then travel to the remote settlement of Macetown.
Follow the historic miners' wagon trail alongside the Arrow River, crossing the river approx 25 times in each direction as your guide takes you deep into Queenstown's rugged backcountry.
Explore the remains of this once-bustling goldfield settlement before setting out on a guided 90-minute return walk to the Homeward Bound Battery, an impressive four-storey relic of Macetown's mining past. The rugged walk includes creek crossings and sections of unformed track, adding to the sense of adventure.
Enjoy a picnic lunch surrounded by mountain scenery and try your hand at gold panning in the Arrow River. This is a true backcountry expedition combining 4WD adventure, history, hiking and spectacular scenery.
