Here’s our pick of the best walks & hiking tracks in Arrowtown

We enjoyed some excellent walking tracks in the tiny gold rush town of Arrowtown. The council has been busy, the walking and biking will keep you full on all day.  Arrowtown is just sooooo cute, it has a real historic feel with it’s one way street, charming village shops, big trees and lots of cafes to choose from.



Another awesome way to see Arrowtown if you don’t want to walk around is to do a self-guided tour of Arrowtown and Gibbston Valley on a brand new premium E-Bike or Cruiser Hardtrail bike. If you can’t be bothered walking or biking then take a 3 hour Lord of the Rings Tour and see the film locations.
