Rob was an excellent guide who explained everything with great care and attention to detail, making the entire tour both enjoyable and informative. Everything was well organized, and the timing was perfectly managed, so we never felt rushed. On top of that, everyone in the group was lovely and friendly, and the vehicle was incredibly comfortable. All in all, it was a fantastic experience from start to finish, and I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area!

We had such an amazing tour with Ana! The car was super comfortable, the wineries were stunning, and the wines were fantastic. Ana was the perfect guide—knowledgeable, attentive, and so much fun. The whole group had great energy as well. They were very generous with the tastings, too! Highly recommended for anyone visiting Queenstown.

Overall I had a wonderful experience during the Fly Cruise Milford Sound trip. The crew did a fantastic job communicating about the pickup time and location. They even called me right after I landed in Queenstown to ensure that I can make it. They all had a very warm personality and the Pilot (Andrew) is such a rockstar. During the flight he explained about each of the interesting things to look out for and give us heads up about the weather. I felt safe flying with him. The Milford Sound cruise was just magical. I feel like I had been transported to another world the moment we landed at Milford. The scenery is pure perfection and everything looks like 4K. Such a beautiful place and I can’t wait to come again. Overall, I had a very positive experience during the entire trip and would recommend the Fly Cruise Experience for people who is short on time. Just a recommendation maybe you can also offer a package for a smaller cruise boat as well.

The scenic flight experience was fantastic! It not only cut down on travel time but also offered a unique perspective of New Zealand. Afterward, we took a helicopter to the glacier hiking spot. Our guide led us to some unique terrain and allowed plenty of time for photos. I'm so glad I participated in this activity!

What to know before visiting Queenstown

What Queenstown is famous for

Queenstown is best known for Outdoor & sports activities, followed by Water activities and Cruises, with Tours and Massages also popular. The city's rhythm through the year shows a strong summer surge: Klook booking data records January as a busy month while March is noticeably quieter. Expect action-packed options in the busiest months and calmer, easier bookings in the quieter shoulder months. Decide whether you want peak-season buzz or a more relaxed trip — Klook booking data helps you time activities around those seasonal swings.

Best months to visit Queenstown

January is the clearest peak in demand while March is the quietest month; Klook booking data marks January as busier and March as quieter. Prices drift across the year with the priciest month in June and the cheapest in September; the median price over the last 12 months is typically around AUD 162 according to Klook booking data. When demand and price align, June shows both higher prices and steady interest, while September offers lower prices and lighter crowds — a good choice for value. For lower prices and smaller crowds, choose September; for peak-season atmosphere, pick January or June.

Tips for travellers from Australia

Most travellers from Australia lock in plans well ahead: bookings typically happen about 15 days ahead, with the earliest planners booking around 46 days out, according to Klook booking data. That means you can still be flexible, but it's wise to secure must-do outdoor adventures and popular water activities earlier in January and June when demand climbs. If you're booking later, Klook often shows last-minute availability about 5 days before travel, so check for updates. Book through Klook for easy confirmations and to secure preferred time slots for peak-season experiences.
