Queenstown Outdoor & sports activities

This skydiving experience deserves a perfect score without reservation. From the moment I boarded the small plane, my heart started racing. Looking down at the lakes and mountains through the plane window, the whole land was like a three-dimensional map spread out beneath my feet. The lake water sparkled with blue-green light under the sun, and the mountains stretched out in layers to the horizon. At that moment, I already felt it was worth the price of admission. When the door opened and the cold wind rushed into the cabin, my mind went almost blank. The moment I flipped out, the world suddenly became quiet, with only the sound of the wind and the thrill of rapid descent. Those few dozen seconds of free fall completely defied my imagination—not fear, but a kind of extremely pure release. The blue sky was close at hand, and the lake and town were rapidly enlarging below. The shock of it all is truly indescribable. After the parachute opened, the scene suddenly became gentle. The sun shone on my face, the distant snow-capped mountains were clearly visible, and the lake lay quietly like a mirror between the valleys. To be able to skydive in such weather, I really have to thank God for giving me an almost perfect blue sky. The wind was steady, the visibility was clear, and the visibility was excellent, making this experience the most beautiful stroke on my life's bucket list. The instructor was very professional and gave me a full sense of security throughout the whole process. From equipment inspection to aerial guidance, he was very careful. The footage was also very exciting. When I watched the video, I truly realized that I had accomplished something that I once thought was unattainable. This is not just an extreme activity, but an experience of dialogue with oneself. When my feet touched the ground again, the sense of accomplishment and emotion was something I will remember for the rest of my life. I sincerely recommend that anyone who wants to experience it book early, as the price is usually more affordable and the time is more flexible. Spots are very popular when the weather is good, so the sooner you book, the more at ease you will be. Highly recommended. If there is a must-do list in life, skydiving is definitely worth a spot. Safety: Perfect score Experience: Perfect score Instructor: Better for girls🤣 Equipment: Very new

Location: In the center of the mountain, very remote. Experience: Upon arrival, there was a Chinese explanation, a video explaining and showing us instructions on how to use the gun; all with real firearms. For first-timers, it feels easy to hit the target. Not bad!

What an incredible experience. Scott is such a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable and cheerful. The hike was around 1.5 hour with lots of time stopping for pictures, so it was not as physically demanding as expected. The glacier is truly mesmerising, it is one of the best memories I have made in NZ!

First time doing a Bungy jump and would go again it was one of the best experiences I’ve done travelling.

The service center is right in the heart of Queenstown, and the staff are very friendly. After the shuttle arrives, someone will explain the process, and then you'll go to the bridge to prepare. If you're nearsighted, you'll need to wear contact lenses, as prescription goggles are not provided on site. The fee includes photos, taken from many angles, and a video as well. After the activity, you'll receive an email the next day with links to the video and photos. Oh, and you'll also get a free souvenir T-shirt on site.

May 31st was a rainy day, but thankfully we had this activity booked because the sled ride wasn't operating. Two staff members took turns assisting us on all four ziplines. It was a very enjoyable experience, though it really depends on whether you're brave enough to try different moves. You can glide smoothly through the trees, or you can let go and confidently hang upside down for photos. The staff were very professional and would introduce the scenery at appropriate times during each section. At the end, you can choose to walk back to the check-in area (about a 15-20 minute walk) or have a car pick you up. It's a completely effortless experience! 👍

I thought I’d be terrified, but I was just in awe! No free fall. You gently run then suddenly you’re floating!💗💗💗

The resort opened one day later than our original booking due to weather, but we were informed promptly and still managed to ski/snowboard. As it was only the first day and snowfall wasn’t heavy yet, not all runs were open and only the practice slope was available, which was a bit of a pity. Overall, it was still worth the money and I would recommend it!

One of the most interesting activities in New Zealand. The instructor's emotional intelligence is on point. Very free to play with the guns. After getting used to reloading and recoil, it's basically self-service. The instructor just helps choose the skeet launch points.
