Queenstown

Adrenaline junkies take note: one of New Zealand’s most thrilling destinations, Queenstown, is known for its adventure sports, and will be a fantastic quench for your risk thirst. Gaze up at the towering Southern Alps and down at the gorgeous blues of Lake Wakatipu, both of which frame the city. In summer, you can take a daring bungee jump off of the Kawarau Suspension Bridge, or cruise the Shotover and Dart rivers on a jet-boat - and the fun doesn’t stop in the warm months. Winter in Queenstown means hitting the slopes of the Remarkables and Coronet Peak; the snow in this region will have you in love with skiing in no time. If you’re not as much of an adrenaline fan as your travel partner, no worries! Other incredible activities in this city include digging deep into the history of the region by visiting the city’s vineyards and mining towns. There’s a little something for everyone in Queenstown.
