Queenstown

Adventure Capital

Overview

Queenstown

Queenstown earned its title as New Zealand's adrenaline capital on the back of the world's first commercial bungy jump, but the setting is just as much the draw: Lake Wakatipu curling beneath The Remarkables, a mountain range that turns gold at sunset. Between jet-boating the Shotover Canyon, skiing in winter, wine-tasting through Gibbston Valley and gondola rides above the town, it packs an entire adventure holiday into one alpine basin — with a lively bar and restaurant scene to unwind in after.

Ideal for: Thrill-seekers, skiers, wine lovers
