Main Attractions / Activities
Shopping is
Queenstown's specialty, and souvenir shops here are as good as any you
will find elsewhere.
There are year-round action-packed thrills such as jetboating on the
Kawarau or Shotover rivers, where these amazing New Zealand-invented craft
execute seemingly impossible manoeuvres. Queenstown is also the world
capital and home of bungy jumping.
In winter, pristine powder runs are just over the hills. There are four
world-renowned ski fields within easy reach, with tons of snow to ski,
snowboard and play in.
On nearby Lake Wakatipu, the vintage TSS Earnslaw has been beautifully
restored to its original condition and takes visitors on daily trips.
The area has great rainbow trout, brown trout and quinnat salmon
fishing, with the lake open year-round. Keen golfers shouldn't miss out on
an opportunity to play some of the most scenic courses in the world, at
award-winning Milbrook Resort, Kelvin Heights, Arrowtown and Frankton.
Close to Queenstown are the Gibbston Valley and Chard Farm
vineyards.Don't miss historic Arrowtown with its quaint, tree-lined
