Queenstown

Welcome to Queenstown

Queenstown invented adventure tourism and still leads the world in ways to get your adrenaline pumping against spectacular mountain scenery. This compact resort town on Lake Wakatipu's shores offers bungee jumping (the commercial industry was born here), jet boating, skydiving, white-water rafting, and countless other heart-pounding activities. In winter, nearby ski fields draw Southern Hemisphere snow enthusiasts. But Queenstown also caters to those seeking beauty without the rush—world-class wineries, scenic cruises, and the ethereal landscapes of Milford Sound prove that nature's spectacle needs no enhancement. The town's buzzing restaurant and bar scene ensures evenings match the days for excitement.
