Brace yourself – Lake Wakatipu and New Zealand’s the Southern Alps make Queenstown an adventure sports star.
You can find more than 200 different things to do in Queenstown – plus all the requisite gear that goes with them.
This resort town in the southwest corner of New Zealand’s South Island is surrounded by snow-capped mountains, glacial lakes, and plenty of wildlife – truly a natural paradise. But the terrain fuels the furnace for escapades that draws thousands of thrill-loving adventurers here, year-round. Along with the neighboring towns of this lake district, Queenstown is deeply ensconced in the adventure- and ski-tourism world.
There’s no better way to experience New Zealand than with your head in the clouds of four ski slopes – Cardrona Alpine Resort, Coronet Peak, The Remarkables, and Treble Cone. Fans travel in from all over the country to ski and snowboard in Queenstown.
In the summer, the shorelines and hillsides really heat up, with mountain biking, paragliding, skydiving, flyfishing, and “tramping” – i.e. strictly a New Zealand word for taking a long-distance walk over rough terrain. Lake Wakatipu and the Kawarau, Shotover, Rees, and Dart rivers provide the backdrop for jet boating and white-water rafting. The claim to fame in Queenstown, however, has to be bungee jumping, particularly off the Kawarau Gorge Suspension Bridge, the sport’s very first permanent commercial base.
With all the adventure comes ample opportunities to unwind and some type of festival almost every month. Visitors can also hop on the TSS Earnslaw and tour Lake Wakatipu or head to one of the dozens of wineries in what is known as the world’s most southerly wine region.
