Queenstown Snowmobiles
Queenstown Snowmobiles
Your clients will have the most fun on snow as they ride their very own snowmobile across the pristine Garvie Plateau, near to Queenstown, in a small group of up to six other riders for a winter adventure that will truly be awesome.
The snow-covered plateau is only accessible by a scenic helicopter ride of about 15 minutes over the mighty Remarkables mountain range, Hector Mountains and Nevis River Valley. This snowmobiling area is exclusive to Queenstown Snowmobiles.
Absolutely no experience is necessary as our professional guide provides full tuition before guests set off in a convoy exploring the spectacular plateau. There are mountain and wilderness views as far as the eye can see. During the trip your clients will stop along the way at the best locations to take photos and videos (sorry no drones) of the landscape.
We provide outdoor clothing including insulated overalls, helmets, googles, gloves and boots all located at the snowmobiling base on the Garvie Plateau.
