Definitely worth the trip

We found this gem on bookme. And so glad we decided to tiki tour to go there. From the minute we walked in the door we were greeted by the lovely staff, the tour guide was engaging and informative. Our 1yr absolutely loved walking through the Chinese settlement. Lots to interact with and to end with panning for your own gold was awesome!

Awesome tour!

It was perfect! There were only 2 of us on the tour which they allowed us to go for the earlier slot although I was booked for 3pm. After we did the 1pm Jetboat tour we went straight on for the Tour. Sandy is a great Guide and it was so personal since just the two of us. At the end of the tour she taught us Gold panning and found us quite a large piece! I also did find one tinier piece on the 2nd round I pan myself..just our lucky day, really satisfied. Jetboat was really awesome too! worth the drive out. these bookme deals are great not only did we saved but got our monies worth!

Absolutely Fantastic, an absolute must.

Arrived thinking the rain could cancel our Jet boat ride. Staff were very welcoming and helpful. Rain stopped so time to go. OMG what a fantastic experience!!! So much fun, couldn't stop laughing. Scary in parts as the "captain of the Jet Boat" was an excellent driver but gave out hearts a scary flutter :) I recommend this ride 110%. You come off saying you want more and we will certainly be back again for sure. Thank you for the pictures, they will bring back the happy, fun, scary, soaking wet memories of the ride. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK GOLDFIELDS JET. ?????? p.s. take a spare set of clothes, you will get soaked !!!!

First time on a jet boat for all of us. What an amazing experience. I had a smile from ear to ear the whole journey. A well run tourism spot with a variety of things to do. Our driver was a lot fun and gave some of us a good soaking ?and a brief history into the area which was very interesting. We look forward to doing it again on our next trip back to Queenstown

Great jet boat fun!

This is definitely worth doing with a Bookme deal. My husband and I paid $60 each (which is much less than the other jet boat companies). We really enjoyed our experience. My only disappointment is that the jet boat ride felt much shorter than 25 min, and that rather than going in a straight line for start to finish, we drove up and down the same section of the river over an over. This was a bit of a let down, but is understandable given there's only a small bit of canyon they can boat on. The 360 degree spins were super fun and a major highlight, and we ended up getting the photos included which was a really nice perk! Thanks Goldfields Jet!!! :-)

I was a spectator, rather than a participant, but had a great view of the track. Was quite suspenseful watching the down-to-the-wire finish of the men in my life. Photos and video easy to record, including scoreboard inside, to re-live later.

We were in the area and managed to get $5 bookme tickets. The museum is small but has a few interesting features to read, and a couple of interactive activities. Outside they have a small kids playground, balance bikes and a few mini golf holes - all free to use! This helped to prolong our time here. There is a cafe where you can sit and watch the track or venture down a few stairs to check out the loo with a view!

My husband really enjoyed the trip to the Highlands Motor Sports. I think he took photos of every car on display and then behaved like a big kid on the go karts (then drove our hire car like a go kart through the winding roads back to our hotel!!)

We had a great time at Highlands Motorsport Park. Really surprise at the collection of awesome cars on displayed from many different eras. My two preschool kids enjoyed seeing the different cars and Bumble Bee (Transformer). Thanks for the welcoming staff who help us take a family picture without us asking. Also had brunch there as they have a nice cafe after walking around to see all the different cars. A great place to visit in Cromwell. Just wish more people would know about this place.

Plenty to see and do. Well worth the visit. I personally enjoyed the nostalgia of viewing iconic classic motorsport vehicles, while my wife enjoyed viewing vehicles racing around the track.
