Top 5 Things to do in Queenstown

Queenstown is one of  the top travel destination in New Zealand. It is world famous for iconic scenery, friendly people, golf courses, wineries & smorgasbord of outdoor activities, you’ll never be short of things to do in Queenstown.

Here are the Top 5 Things to do for Queenstown, NZ


Skydive

Skydive - It takes a certain kind of person to skydive from 15,000ft. It takes courage. You step out of that aircraft door and for some 60 seconds you freefall at 200km/hour. Queenstown is the birthplace of Tandem Skydiving in New Zealand, also known as the 'Adventure Capital of the World'.


Bungy Jumping QueenstownBungy Jumping - Bungy jumping, a term that screams adventure and craziness to some, and creates
pure fear in others. All began in november 1988, when two great mates had a crazy idea to throw themselves off the kawarau bridge, (queenstown, nz) attached only by a bungy cord.

Go Skiing

Go Skiing – During the winter months, the mountains here provide some of the best skiing (or snowboarding) in New Zealand. The trails range from easy to difficult and there are many options here for experts. (Remember the NZ winter is during the North American summer!)

Ride the Shotover Jet

Ride the Shotover Jet – This ultrafast speedboat whips around the local rivers at neck-breaking speed. Sometimes the water is shallow you think you are going to crash. It’s quite the rush!

Off Roading Queenstown

Go off-Roading – There are a few tour operators in the area that offer half-day off-roading adventures in 4WD vehicles. These tours take you through the canyons and across the rivers, so prepare for a lot of fun and don’t worry if you get a bit wet. Expect to pay between $75-125 NZD.
