About Queenstown

The adventure capital of the world!

One of the globe’s most travelled destinations for the young budget traveller, Queenstown has more variety of adventure to offer than perhaps anywhere else in the world. Set alongside Lake Wakatipu and nestled between the ski areas of Coronet Peak and The Remarkables mountain range, Queenstown is postcard-perfect before a visitor even considers the sporting options.

The adventure begins in the summer with the three most popular attractions: bungy jumping, jet boating and white-water rafting. It continues with skydiving, paragliding, rock climbing, hiking, mountain biking, helicopter flights, horse riding, fishing and much, much more.

The adventure continues in the winter with skiing and snowboarding alongside all the summer options. Queenstown is New Zealand’s pre-eminent snowsport destination.

In addition to this are day or overnight trips into the surrounding country. You can explore Milford and Doubtful Sounds, take Lord of the Rings tours, wine tours, heli skiing, 4WD tours and more.

And, perhaps the best bit of all… Queenstown is home to truly world-class Pinot Noir wines. With famous labels such as Gibbston Valley, Amisfield and Chard Farm, touring the wine district is very easy and only a 20-minute drive from town.

The environment surrounding Queenstown has much to offer every traveller who comes to this beautiful part of the world. Talk to our team about making bookings for these activities.
