The Lord of the Rings put the already well-known South Island town of Queenstown, New Zealand, on the map, but Queenstown offers more than stunning Middle Earth scenery. From adrenaline-pumping activities such as jet boating, sky diving and bungy jumping to leisurely scenic hikes suitable for advanced hiking parties all the way to families, Queenstown has it all!
If you are new to Queenstown we recommend you acquaint yourself with the beautiful surroundings with a relaxing stroll around the shores of Lake Wakatipu via the Sunshine Bay Track or Frankton Arm Walkway. After this, the possibilities really are endless. If you’re looking to experience one of Queenstown’s multi-day Great Walks, head to Milford Sound, Fiordland National Park, or try the Routeburn Track from Glenorchy. If you’re keen on a one-day walk, you’ll find breathtaking locations just a short distance from the city.
