Welcome to Queenstown!
Queenstown is nestled on the shores of the South Island’s Lake Wakatipu. The glacial lake is boarded on all sides with dramatic, towering mountains - the highest of which is Mount Earnslaw standing an impressive 2819m.
This picturesque, four seasons resort town literally offers something for everyone - from cruising the lake on the restored steamship T.S.S Earnlsaw, to year round trout fishing, walking/hiking, mountain biking and golfing to enjoying the myriad local wineries and exploring historic mining towns.
Queenstown is a stunning part of New Zealand not to be missed.
NZ's adventure capital on your doorstep
Aside from its beauty, arguably Queenstown is best known as New Zealand’s adventure capital, making it the perfect destination for thrill seekers. There's bungee jumping off Kawarau Gorge Suspension Bridge and jet-boating on the Shotover and Dart rivers. In winter, there's skiing on the slopes of The Remarkables and Coronet Peak. Amongst other heart pumping pursuits there's also rafting, paragliding and skydiving.
