Take to the Skies
Queenstown is the place to be for a bird’s eye view of New Zealand’s stunning landscape. The famous Shotover Canyon will take your breath away, as will the stunning views from the The Ledge Bungy Jump which offers a 163m plunge down a sheer cliff face. For a more relaxed approach to sightseeing, take a scenic flight and explore the wilderness of this iconic destination.
Hit the Great Outdoors
Queenstown’s mountain biking scene is unrivalled in New Zealand. You can rent a bike or join an organised tour and explore some of the most challenging trails in the world. If you’re more of a water baby then try your hand at kayaking on the crystal clear waters of Lake Wakatipu, or take to the rapids in an authentic jetboat tour. For an equally rewarding but less hair-raising experience, the region is scattered with charming walking and hiking trails – offering spectacular views of the tranquil landscape.
Be Wowed by the Arts
New Zealand has been recognised as a hotbed of creativity, so it’s no surprise that Queenstown is also a thriving cultural centre. The historic town centre of Queenstown offers a range of galleries, quaint stores as well as creative art classes and workshops. You can also take a trip to Arrowtown, the former gold mining town which houses many small galleries and studios.
Embrace the Food and Wine Scene
In recent years, Queenstown’s gastronomic scene has exploded in popularity. You’ll find world-class restaurants, cafes, bars and wineries all within walking distance from the centre. Some of the best venues to sample local delicacies include Rata, Boatshed, Botswana Butchery and Nelson’s of Arrowtown. For craft beer lovers, there’s an array of micro-breweries to tantalise your taste buds. And let’s not forget the unparalleled beauty of the wineries of Central Otago, just a short drive out of town.
From the adrenaline filled to the picturesque – Queenstown is a place for all ages and all walks of life. And no matter how long your stay, you’ll be sure to experience an unforgettable adventure.
