- Connectabus is the local bus service, with 3 routes serving popular tourist destinations. Buses run every half hour, connecting Remarkables Park, Arrowtown, the Airport, and more.

- If you are booking a tour, very often transportation to and from a central city location (or your hotel) is included in the price. Ask about transport when booking tours or guides.
- Remember to carry water, sunscreen, and bug spray with you, especially in the harsh heat of summer.
