See Queenstown from the back of a 4×4

Tourists in Queenstown could take a trip on a 4×4 to see the sights of the South Island.

People heading to New Zealand know they are in for a holiday of a lifetime.

It is one of the most beautiful countries on Earth and the local Kiwi people make sure they make they most of the great outdoors.

New Zealand has many adrenaline-fuelled activities waiting to be discovered by the intrepid tourist – most of them can be found in Queenstown – but one trip explores the countryside and sets the pulse racing more than most.

Nomad Safaris offer the chance to board a rugged 4×4 and scramble over the foothills and lakeshores of the South Island.

Tours depart Queenstown daily at 8.00 am and 1.30 pm and the full experience lasts around four hours.

As well as the natural scenery, the ride also takes in the sights of the historic, abandoned old gold mining settlement of Macetown.
