Experiencing Adrenaline Pumping Queenstown Adventures!

Popularly known for some of the most breathtaking landscapes in Otago, Queenstown is a visual and visceral paradise that is as unearthly as its representation in Peter Jackson’s Hollywood blockbuster, The Lord of the Rings. The stunning geographical attributes that were immortalized in the famed trilogy which cast the area as Tolkien’s magical Middle Earth, is now open to visitors with a deep love of nature and an unwavering spirit of adventure.
   
Due to the sheer variety of Queenstown’s topographical features, the area is littered with hiking and walking trails that take walkers on a visual journey like no other. The Hollyford Track is perhaps the area’s most popular walking trail as the 3 day tour of the track offers visitors more than hurried glimpses of cloud gracing mountains, idyllic rivers, stunning coastal areas, clear lakes and native rainforests. Mount Aspiring is another well worn trail while the renowned Routeburn Track takes hikers across Fiordland National Park which is south west New Zealand’s revered World Heritage Site.

Mountaineers and other explorers can head up to Bob’s Peak to enjoy panoramic views of the hamlet while those with a flair for adventure can take a mind-blowing luge ride from the summit as well. White-water rafting enthusiasts on the other hand can traverse the challenging waters of Shotover Kawarau and Landsborough rivers. Boat rides and jet boating activities are also available on Shotover River and Lake Wakatipu.

Bungy jumpers and avid sky divers can expect jaw-dropping thrills and spills at the iconic Kawarau Bridge Bungy experience which was incidentally the first 43-metre bungy experience in New Zealand. Other adventure sporting activities in Queenstown include paragliding, biscuiting and wakeboarding while waterskiing opportunities are also available at many of the district’s lakes and beaches.

Famed as a Kiwi wine producing heartland, Queenstown is home to dozens of sprawling vineyards and ancient wineries that can be explored via wine trail tours in the area.
