“Venture into the Skippers Canyon, a stunning look into New Zealand's backcountry and gold mining history”
Skippers Canyon is an incredible site of the 1860s gold rush that eclipsed the scale of the legendary Klondike. This world famous canyon is packed with relics, workings and astonishing stories of man against the elements. The road itself into the canyon, with its vertical drop offs either side of the vehicle as you travel into the heart of the canyon, is thrilling in itself. After negotiating the famous Skippers Canyon bridge you will enjoy a light picnic lunch stop at the old schoolhouse, deep in the canyon. Only the experienced professionals at the wheel of the 4x4s can truly put you inside the hearts and minds of the people who strived in Skippers Canyon to win their gold. A wealth of facts, figures and anecdotes bring the history back to life before your eyes.
