Choose Queenstown Highlights, a half-day tour that will introduce you to bungy jumping and showcase historic Arrowtown, with its museum, shops, and cafes, and then sample a selection of local wines in arguably one of New Zealand's most scenic wineries.
Quick Tips:
Be careful when driving at night, because, due to poor visibility, it is hard to see if the left/right sides of the road are flat bush land or treacherous ravines. There are white crosses on roads leading towards Queenstown, reminding travellers to drive safety in these mountainous. There is a short cut from Wanaka to Queenstown. It will just take about 50 minutes instead of the usual 1 hour. However, the last 10 miles or so of the shortcuts features a lot of sharp turns and narrow roads carved on the sides of the mountain. Be careful driving through here, or else you would have your own leading white cross at the side of the road. Plus, when travelling at night, do not feel the urge to go towards the bright lights of Queenstown, because that road comes off a rather steep mountain. Going towards the lights would be suicidal. Best Way To Get Around:
Once you arrive in the city, making your way around is extremely straightforward. The Shopper bus operates between 6:30am and 11pm daily, serving all the major hotels, as well as the airport, Sunshine Fernhill, Frankton, Remarkables Park Shopping Centre, and downtown Queenstown. A day pass for this service costs .50.
