Queenstown Activities

Queenstown Activities

Choose from a range of must-do Queenstown activities. The team at New Zealand Travel Organiser has selected the best things to do in Queenstown, from sightseeing to adventure sports.

Known as the “Adventure Capital of New Zealand,” Queenstown boasts an impressive line-up of adrenaline activities. For example, you’ll find skydiving, bungy jumping, whitewater rafting, and zip-lining on offer.

In addition, Queenstown sits in the stunning Wakatipu Basin, surrounded by jagged peaks and the waters of Lake Wakatipu. In other words, Queenstown is also a top destination for wilderness experiences and sightseeing.

Situated within easy reach of Fiordland National Park, Arrowtown, Glenorchy, and Wanaka, Queenstown serves as a convenient base for exploring the nearby regions. For example, many travellers choose to visit Milford Sound or Doubtful Sound from Queenstown.

Plan your stay in Queenstown

Most travellers choose to stay at least three nights in Queenstown to see and do as much as possible. If your time is short, choose from our top things to do in Queenstown.

The Top Jet Boat in Queenstown

For a quick, thrilling ride through a dramatic canyon, don’t miss the iconic Shotover Jet.

If you have more time, the Dart River Wilderness Jet combines fast-paced action with some of New Zealand’s best scenery.

The Best Family Experience in Queenstown

For families with young children, don’t miss the TSS Earnslaw Cruise and Walter Peak High Country Farm Tour. Explore the historic farm buildings and interact with friendly farm animals–plus, enjoy stunning views on the trip across Lake Wakatipu.

In addition, the Skyline Gondola and Luge Queenstown is a great option for families. Take the short gondola ride to the top of Bob’s Peak for breathtaking views over Queenstown. After that, race each other on the gravity-powered luge carts.

The Best Fiordland Tour from Queenstown

If you have time, don’t miss the Doubtful Sound Overnight Cruise. Larger and more dramatic than Milford Sound, Doubtful Sound awes visitors with its grandeur and solitude.

Or, if you have just one day to visit Fiordland, choose a Milford Sound or Doubtful Sound day cruise.
