Queenstown Travel Guide - Activities
There are plenty of things to do, be it jet boating, bungee jumping, mountain climbing or trekking. Those who prefer something a little less adrenaline-pumping can enjoy activities such as golf, at shopping or a betting at a casino.
Bungee jumping: daredevils from all around the world flock to Queenstown for several reasons. One major reason is to jump off Kawarau Bridge, the original 43-metre Bungee Jump. There are many options you can choose from: foot-tie, tandem or harness. This is the only place in the world where you can choose to bob just above the water, touch the water or just plunge right in.
Shotover jet: no trip to Queenstown is complete with the world’s most exciting ride in a Shotover Jet. You will have to hold tight as the ride takes you through a number of twists and turns through narrow canyons.
Queenstown Golf Club: is stunningly beautiful and fully equipped with electric carts, superior golf club options, shoes, balls, clothing and club house facilities. Those who are new to the game will find professional instructors to help with your swing.
Skyline Gondola: provides scrumptious cuisine in the Skyline complex on Bob’s Peak high above Queenstown. If you are fancy a luge ride downhill, you will find a number of paths for riders of all ages and experience.
SKYCITY Queenstown Casino: if you are more into relaxing activities that still require the use of your logic, Queenstown welcomes you to the SKYCITY Queenstown Casino. The casino offers a variety of table games such as Blackjack, Roulette, Midi-Baccarat and Caribbean Stud Poker. Hungry gamblers can take a break and sit back at the Wild Thyme Bar and Restaurant serving delicious dishes from Central Otago.
