Queenstown & Wanaka Holidays

If an adrenaline fuelled holiday isn't your idea of a good time then there are a whole host of activities that will keep your heart rate down (sort of). Enjoy a leisurely game of golf, go hiking on one of the many scenic trails or, if you can't bear to be away from the action for too long, hop on a mountain bike. For panoramic views that allow you to take in the sheer magnitude of the scenery, make sure to take a gondola ride up Queenstown's mountain. Afterwards, embrace your inner child on a thrilling downhill ride on the Skyline Luge (and make sure your actual children don't overtake you).

While Queenstown has nabbed the title of adventure capital, Wanaka offers similar experiences but without the crowds. Situated on the shores of Lake Wanaka, this is the perfect terrain for some alpine tramping taking in some of the best views including Roy's Peak, Mount Iron and Diamond Lake. Walk around the lake and marvel at the famous 'Wanaka Tree' in the middle or take to the crystal clear water and enjoy kayaking, boating and stand up paddle boarding.
