CONQUER QUEENSTOWN

When was the last time you explored this breathtaking winter wonderland? Jump on the Queenstown Gondola – the steepest in the Southern Hemisphere – and ride the cable car all the way to the top of Bob’s Peak for exquisite views of Queenstown, Coronet Peak and The Remarkables. If you’re looking for an adrenaline fix, ride the gravity-fuelled luge to the bottom of the track, take the chair lift back to the top and do it all again! Or take the plunge and test your limits with the infamous AJ Hackett Kawarau Bridge Bungy jump, before hopping onboard the Shotover Jet boat to experience the breathtaking canyons in the most memorable way. This multifaceted town accommodates both thrillseekers and tourists of leisure with experiences the whole family will enjoy!
