Queenstown

Queenstown is situated on the edge of Lake Wakatipu against the backdrop of the spectacular Remarkables mountain range and is one of the most popular destinations on the South Island.

During the summer months this resort town is a popular base for various adventure activities such as bungy jumping, jet boating, paragliding and white water rafting and it is a busy ski resort during winter.

If you've got the money to spend, it is worth doing a combo deal combining several activities.

For a small town, there is a lot happening in Queenstown. There are plenty of budget accommodation options and good nightlife. But all the activities can put a strain on your budget.
