Queenstown, New Zealand - The Adventure Capital of the World

By Suzanne Bender

 

Situated in the southwest of New Zealand's South Island, Queenstown has been described as the adventure capital of the world. Adventurers of all types choose this area as their adventure vacation destination. There are plenty of thrills for the adrenalin junkie - bungee jumping, canyon swinging, white water rafting, river surfing, skiing, heli-skiing, skydiving, mountain climbing, mountain biking, jet boating, and more.

For those that want to stay on this planet for as long as possible, there are other "less challenging" things to do. For example, you can go for a scenic walk along the shores of Lake Wakatipu with its crystal clear waters, tour Lake Wakatipu aboard a 100-year-old coal fired steamship, fish, hike, cycle, golf, walk, or tour the local wineries. Excellent restaurants populate Queenstown and neighboring Arrowtown. As well, the Pinot Noir that is produced in the wine producing area surrounding the city is excellent.<<more>>
