Explore the captivating history of Queenstown, New Zealand, from its early Maori heritage and pivotal gold rush era to its transformation into the world's adventure capital. Discover key historical milestones in this detailed timeline. WELCOME TO Q ueenstown Tāhuna BOOK ACTIVITIES < Queenstown Home The Historical Journey of Queenstown: From Māori Trails to Adventure Capital Early Beginnings and Maori Heritage (1200 AD - 1850s) 1200 AD: Polynesians were the first to explore the Queenstown area, primarily for hunting. The cold climate discouraged permanent settlement. Later Centuries: Maori from the West Coast traveled to Queenstown in search of pounamu (greenstone), a precious resource used for tools and ornaments. The area was known as Tāhuna, translating to "shallow bay." 1856: The first European glimpse of Lake Wakatipu was by Scotsman Nathanael Chalmers, guided by Reko, a Maori chief. Settlement and Development (1860 - 1869) 1860: William Gilbert Rees and Nicholas von Tunzelmann were the first Europeans to settle in the area. They navigated the challenging Crown Range, establishing farms and beginning a quiet pastoral life. 1862: The discovery of alluvial gold in the Arrow River by Jack Tewa, a Maori shepherd, sparked a significant gold rush, attracting miners from as far as Australia and California. Queenstown quickly evolved from a shanty town on Rees' farm to a bustling center of activity. The Gold Rush Impact (1862 - 1870s) Early 1860s: The gold rush led to the construction of infrastructure such as the Queen’s Arms Hotel, which later became Eichardt’s Hotel. 1864: As the gold supply dwindled, miners moved on to the West Coast, prompting the government to invite Chinese miners to the Otago goldfields, who significantly contributed to the local economy through various trades. Expansion and Tourism (1870s - 1940s) Mid-1870s: The development of hotels and the establishment of the Dunedin to Kingston railway facilitated the growth of tourism. Queenstown became a favored summer destination for hiking and relaxation. 1947: The Mount Cook Company introduced winter tourism by hiring a ski instructor and installing a tow rope at Coronet Peak, marking the beginning of Queenstown's winter sports scene. Modern Era and Adventure Tourism (1950s - Present) 1960: Commercial jet boat rides began, adding to the array of adventurous activities available. 1988: The launch of the world’s first commercial bungee jumping site by AJ Hackett and Henry Van Asch solidified Queenstown's reputation as the "Adventure Capital of the World." Post-1950s: Queenstown has seen exponential growth, now offering a wide range of activities that attract tourists year-round.

Book Activities, Accommodation & Transport Below Fox Glacier Franz Josef & THE SPECTACULAR FOX GLACIER & FRANZ JOSEF Fox Glacier and Franz Josef are two of New Zealand's most spectacular glacier destinations, offering unforgettable experiences for any visitor. Is Fox Glacier worth visiting? Absolutely! This magnificent glacier is one of the few in the world that descends into a lush temperate rainforest, creating a stunning contrast of ice and greenery. What is special about Fox Glacier is its accessibility, as visitors can enjoy incredible views even from a distance. You can still walk to Fox Glacier's terminal face with a guided tour, making it a fantastic experience for all fitness levels. Comparing the two, many ask, “Which is better, Fox or Franz Josef Glacier?” Both are stunning, but Franz Josef is often considered more popular due to its steeper icefall and wider range of activities. However, Fox Glacier offers a quieter, more serene experience, and the nearby Lake Matheson is a must-see for its mirror-like reflections of Mount Cook and Mount Tasman. Is Franz Josef Glacier worth visiting? Without a doubt! It’s one of the most accessible glaciers in the world, and you can even take guided ice walks or heli-hikes for an up-close adventure.

Experience the beauty and resilience of Christchurch, known as “the garden city” in New Zealand. Learn more about the history of Christchurch. Book life-changing tours, amazing scenic experiences and explore iconic landmarks like the Botanic Gardens, TranzAlpine train, and Port Hills. Discover why Christchurch is a top destination for nature lovers and culture enthusiasts. < Christchurch Home Image Source: NZHistory.govt website Discovering Christchurch: A Journey Through History, Art, & Resilience Nestled on the east coast of New Zealand's South Island, Christchurch is a city with a rich history and a vibrant cultural scene. Known as the "Garden City," Christchurch is also celebrated as the heart of the arts in New Zealand, offering a unique blend of historical landmarks, world-class galleries, and a resilient spirit that has seen the city rise from adversity. The Arrival of the First Settlers Christchurch's history begins long before European settlers arrived, with the region originally inhabited by the Ngāi Tahu iwi, the largest Māori tribe in the South Island. The area, known as Ōtautahi in Māori, was a place of abundant resources and a key site for food gathering and trading among the Māori people. In the mid-19th century, the first European settlers arrived, with the Canterbury Association establishing Christchurch as a planned city. The first four ships—The Charlotte Jane, The Randolph, The Sir George Seymour, and The Cressy—arrived in Lyttelton Harbour in 1850, bringing the pioneering settlers who laid the foundations of modern Christchurch. These early colonists, driven by the vision of creating an idealized English settlement, set about building a city that would soon become a thriving cultural hub. Lyttelton Timeball Station and Early Infrastructure One of the early symbols of Christchurch’s maritime importance was the Lyttelton Timeball Station, established in 1876. This historic landmark played a crucial role in helping ships set their chronometers accurately, ensuring safe navigation. Perched on the hills overlooking Lyttelton Harbour, the timeball station was an iconic part of the city’s landscape for over a century. Architectural Heritage and the Christchurch Cathedral Christchurch quickly became known for its stunning Gothic Revival architecture. The Christchurch Cathedral, located at the heart of the city in Cathedral Square, was a symbol of the city’s identity. Designed by architect George Gilbert Scott, the cathedral’s construction began in 1864 and was completed in 1904. The majestic spire and the building’s intricate stonework made it a central landmark, both physically and culturally. These photos show what the cathedral looked like before the Christchurch Earthquakes of 2010 and 2011. Among the many cultural icons that contribute to Christchurch's unique character is the Wizard of Christchurch, a beloved figure who has been a fixture in Cathedral Square since the 1970s. Known for his eccentric speeches and distinctive attire, the Wizard has become a symbol of the city’s quirky and creative spirit. The Wizard in 2007 - Photo Credit Helmut Pfau Christchurch as the Centre of the Arts As Christchurch grew, so did its reputation as the cultural and artistic heart of New Zealand. The Christchurch Arts Centre, originally the University of Canterbury, became a vital part of the city’s cultural fabric. Its neo-Gothic architecture housed theatres, music venues, and galleries, making it a bustling hub for artists, musicians, and performers. The Arts Centre played a crucial role in fostering creativity, hosting everything from classical concerts and theatrical performances to cutting-edge art exhibitions. The New Christchurch Art Gallery Adding to Christchurch's cultural richness is the Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetū, a stunning contemporary building that stands as a beacon of the city’s commitment to the arts. Opened in 2003, the gallery quickly became a focal point for art lovers, showcasing an impressive collection of both local and international works. The gallery’s striking glass facade is a modern contrast to the city’s historic architecture, symbolizing Christchurch’s blend of tradition and innovation. Gardens and the Garden City Christchurch’s moniker as the "Garden City" is well-deserved, with the Christchurch Botanic Gardens at the heart of this green legacy. Established in 1863, the gardens have been a tranquil retreat for both residents and visitors, featuring a stunning collection of native and exotic plants. Alongside Hagley Park, the gardens form the city’s green lung, offering spaces for recreation, reflection, and community gatherings. The Earthquakes and Christchurch's Resilience The peaceful rhythm of life in Christchurch was shattered by the devastating earthquakes of 2010 and 2011. The 2011 earthquake, in particular, caused significant damage to many of the city’s historical and cultural landmarks. The Christchurch Cathedral suffered the collapse of its spire, while the Arts Centre and other heritage buildings were also severely affected. The earthquakes, however, did not diminish Christchurch’s spirit; instead, they sparked a period of profound recovery and transformation. A Rebirth of Creativity and Innovation In the aftermath of the earthquakes, Christchurch has risen as a city of resilience and reinvention. While some historical landmarks were lost, the city has embraced modern architecture and new cultural initiatives. Pop-up stores and eateries, along with innovative public spaces, have brought new life to the city. The Arts Centre has been carefully restored, continuing its role as a vibrant cultural hub with music, theatre, and art at its core. Latimer Square, once a site of rescue efforts, now stands as a symbol of the city’s recovery, surrounded by new developments that honor the past while looking forward to the future. The city’s new eateries and modern establishments blend seamlessly with the historical buildings that remain, creating a dynamic mix of old and new. A New Chapter for Christchurch Today, Christchurch stands as a testament to resilience and reinvention. The city has not only rebuilt but reimagined itself, blending its rich history with a renewed focus on creativity and innovation. Whether you’re exploring the serene Botanic Gardens, visiting the new Christchurch Art Gallery, or attending a performance at the restored Arts Centre, you’ll discover a city that honors its past while eagerly embracing the future.

From the cinematic charm of the Shire to the bubbling geothermal wonders and vibrant Māori heritage, these destinations bring together natural beauty, storytelling, and cultural depth. Whether you’re drawn to dramatic landscapes, rich traditions, or unique experiences, this region offers a remarkable journey through the heart of the North Island. The Hobbiton Movie Set Tucked away in the lush green hills of Matamata in New Zealand’s Waikato region lies the Hobbiton Movie Set, one of the most iconic and beloved film locations in the world. Originally built as a temporary set for The Lord of the Rings trilogy in 1999, Hobbiton was rebuilt in 2009 as a permanent attraction for The Hobbit films. Today, it offers visitors an immersive journey into the heart of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth. Guests can explore 44 detailed hobbit holes, wander through thriving gardens, cross the double-arched bridge, and relax with a drink at the Green Dragon Inn—just as the characters did in the films. The set remains a working sheep farm owned by the Alexander family, preserving the natural beauty and authenticity of the landscape. The guided tours provide insights into the filmmaking process while showcasing the craftsmanship and creativity that brought the Shire to life. For fans of cinema, storytelling, or New Zealand’s pastoral charm, Hobbiton is a magical place that captures the imagination and brings fantasy into reality. BOOK - Hobbiton & Rotorua including Wai-O-Tapu Small Group Tour from Auckland Wai-O-Tapu Thermal Wonderland Wai-O-Tapu, located about 30 minutes south of Rotorua, is one of New Zealand’s most colourful and surreal geothermal parks. The name Wai-O-Tapu means “sacred waters” in Māori, and the area has long been revered for its geothermal activity. This natural wonderland is home to some of the most unique and vivid geothermal features in the world. The Champagne Pool, with its orange and green rim, is one of the park’s most famous sights, created by a blend of volcanic gases and mineral deposits. The nearby Devil’s Bath is equally striking, known for its bright green hue created by sulphuric mineral content. Visitors can explore a vast network of walking trails that wind past steaming vents, bubbling mud pools, and craters. The constantly shifting landscape, shaped by millions of years of volcanic activity, feels otherworldly and ancient. Wai-O-Tapu offers a raw and dramatic encounter with the forces that lie beneath the Earth’s surface. For anyone fascinated by science, geology, or natural beauty, it is a destination that leaves a lasting impression. Te Puia Te Puia is a cultural and geothermal centre located within the Whakarewarewa Valley in Rotorua. It is home to the famous Pōhutu Geyser, which erupts up to 20 times a day, sending plumes of water up to 30 metres into the air. But Te Puia is more than just a geothermal attraction—it is the heart of Māori cultural preservation and education. It houses the New Zealand Māori Arts and Crafts Institute, established in 1963 to ensure traditional skills such as carving and weaving are passed down through generations. Visitors to Te Puia can experience Māori architecture, performances, and storytelling that offer a deep and respectful insight into the cultural heritage of the Māori people. The park also features a Kiwi Conservation Centre, giving guests a rare opportunity to see New Zealand’s iconic native bird in a protected setting. The fusion of culture and nature at Te Puia makes it a uniquely enriching destination. It is a place where the past and present coexist—where stories are told through art, where the ground itself speaks through geysers and mud pools, and where visitors leave with a deeper understanding of New Zealand’s identity.
