Nomad Safaris exists to help you experience the very best of Queenstown and the surrounding backcountry in an authentic, comfortable way, with a genuine sense of connection to the land.
We specialise in small-group, personalised 4WD adventures that explore the breathtaking landscapes of the Southern Lakes region. From iconic Lord of the Rings filming locations to historic gold-mining settlements, our journeys bring the stories of this region to life. Our guides are locals who know these valleys, rivers, and mountains intimately and are passionate about sharing the legends, history, and natural beauty of Aotearoa New Zealand.
With purpose-built off-road vehicles, including classic Land Rover Defenders and rugged Toyota Land Cruisers, we take you into terrain most visitors never get to explore. Each vehicle carries a maximum of six guests, ensuring a relaxed and personal experience where you can ask questions, enjoy the scenery, and feel the spirit of the land around you.
Whether tracking the footsteps of film crews, following the trails of early pioneers, or simply soaking up the views, you will discover a side of Queenstown that stays with you long after your journey ends. We are here to create moments that are meaningful, immersive, and truly memorable, the kind that connect you to this extraordinary corner of the world.
