Queenstown

Long the adrenaline mecca of New Zealand (and arguably the world!) as a whole, Queenstown booms forth from rugged Otago in a breath-taking array of glacial mountain peaks, shimmering lakes, roaring river ways and glistening ski fields.
The looming summits of the rugged Southern Alps cast their ever-present silhouettes over this pretty waterside town on the banks of azure Wakatipu. Together, they stand as a reminder of Queenstown’s indelible connection to nature, throwing up the pistes of the Remarkables and Treble Cone, whitewater rafting opportunities, the hiking routes of the legendary Queenstown Trail, oodles of mountain biking tracks and fly fishing spots along the way. And if you really want to get the blood flowing, there are always those high-speed jet boats down the Shotover River, the iconic bungee spot of the Kawarau Bridge, or tandem skydives over the picturesque town
Queenstown tour guides also offer some more relaxing pursuits in this charming outdoors resort. There are the movie location tours, scenic flights departing daily over the Milford Sound, local crafts shopping in the town centre and plenty of wine cellars touting Otago whites and reds.
