Daily
Queenstown, self proclaimed adventure capital of the world, has without doubt earned its title. Birthplace of the bungee jump, everything from luge, jet-boating and hang-gliding to - of course - bungeeing or "simply" abseiling is on offer to the visitor. All activities take place either at the town or a few minutes' drive away. Set in an exquisite setting on the edge of giant Lake Wakatipu, and full of bars and restaurants, it has to be your top destination in the whole of South Island. |
