"GOLDRUSH NEW ZEALAND"

Besides panning for gold we can arrange the following activities:
- catch a trout or perch, you will be surprised!
- go hunting for a rabbit/hare, wild goat or even a deer

Adventurous four wheel drive trips are included since most of our locations are off the beaten track. Sometimes we may consider hiring a helicopter to reach even more remote places.

Of course besides all that you will find plenty of time to take it easy and to relax from your hectic daily life back home.

Your tour guide Dan Gerber has a vast experience in New Zealand. He is looking forward to make your stay very special. He will be able to show you how to pan for gold or how to catch a trout. He is focussed to give you a good time and that you will go home with lots of fond memories. We are sure this will make you dream about another trip down under
