The first thing that will astound you about Queenstown is the scenery. There is nothing like it anywhere else in the world! The sunsets in Queenstown are some of the most amazing sunsets in the world!
One of the best things about Queenstown is that it has something for everyone.
Queenstown is the adventure capital of New Zealand. Experience the worlds first AJ Hackett Bungy Jumps, skydiving, canyon swinging, paragliding, hangliding, skiing, snowboarding in winter, or rafting just to name a few. One of my favourites was paragliding off Coronet Peak, as the scenery was fantastic. Another great one, ideal for the family, was the Shotover Jet, a fast-paced jetboat going over just milimetres of water.
For those who after something more relaxing, there are some magnificient wine tours on offer. One of the better ones is the Queenstown Wine trail. The guides were friendly and knew everything there was to know about wine.
For the Lord of the Rings fans out there, there are tours taking you out to Isengard and various other locations from the movie. Taking a tour is not necessary, a cheat's guide is to by the locations Lord of the Rings guide and take yourself out there by car to the various sights.
Queenstown is very busy; therefore, it is better to book in advance. It is very easy to get around Queenstown, as most accomodations are situated in the centre, with shuttles to and from the airport.
Enjoy!!
