Epic Snow Day Tour from Queenstown | Cheeky Kiwi Travel | Shaara Deals
Snow Farm, Cardrona Hotel and Lake Wānaka on a family-friendly snow day tour from Queenstown, no skiing required, from $225 with Cheeky Kiwi Travel on Shaara Deals.
Not everyone wants to ski. Cheeky Kiwi Travel's Epic Snow Day Tour, listed on Shaara Deals from $225, is built for families, couples and relaxed travellers who just want a day in the snow — building snowmen, throwing snowballs, or simply taking in the alpine views around Queenstown.
Over the Crown Range to Snow Farm
The tour departs Queenstown and climbs the Crown Range, New Zealand's highest sealed road, stopping at the summit for alpine views and photos before descending into the Cardrona Valley. From there it's on to Snow Farm, where guests get nearly two hours to enjoy the snow at their own pace — with wide open spaces and none of the crowds or pressure of a ski field. Snow boots or toboggans can be hired locally if you want to make more of the time.
Lunch at the Cardrona Hotel
From Snow Farm the tour heads to the Cardrona Hotel, one of New Zealand's most historic pubs, for a relaxed lunch stop (not included in the price) to warm up and swap stories from the morning.
Lake Wānaka and Cromwell
The afternoon continues to Lake Wānaka for a photo with the famous Wānaka Tree, a stroll along the lakefront, and time to explore the town centre. On the way back to Queenstown, the tour stops at the Cromwell Heritage Precinct, a preserved gold rush-era village with boutique shops, galleries and local producers, before the scenic drive home through the Gibbston Valley wine region, arriving around 5:30pm.
