Queenstown Attractions

A true adventure resort town, Queenstown NZ attractions are alive with excitement and natural beauty.

Queenstown is found in the Southern Lakes region on New Zealand's South Island - Your Queenstown map will give you a feel for this breathtaking area along the Southern Alps.

Get wet whitewater rafting, jet boating, kayaking, river surfing, fishing, and sailing. There’s plenty of fun stuff to do on - and off - the mountains too, including bungy (bungee) jumping, mountain climbing, horse riding, cycling, walking, canyoning, skydiving, hanggliding, and parapente (paragliding).

For a memorable Queenstown New Zealand holiday explore the mountains, glaciers, national parks and lakes by air – numerous operators run light aircraft and helicopter flights, offering amazing Queenstown tours and adventure activities.

Visit Milford Sound and the Fjordlands for an epic experience of the incredible fiords, magical forests and glaciers, awe inspiring coastlines and the resident penguins, seals, dolphins and birds.

Queenstown weather brings superb snow in winter and spring, so head to the alpine region and Queenstown’s ski fields for skiing, snowmobiling, snowboarding, and an avalanche of snow-related fun.

The Aoraki Mount Cook region is ideal for exploring the Southern Alps. Travel to the Tasman Glacier for heli-skiing, ski touring, climbing, mountaineering, tramping, and exploring the glacier.

Adrenalin aside, people also travel to Queenstown for golfing, galleries, museums, dining, and exploring New Zealand's famous Queenstown and Central Otago wine regions, experience the rapid rise and fall of Lake Wakatipu’s glacial waters and visit historic Arrowtown (made famous as the location for the filming of The Lord of the Rings trilogy).
