Things to do in Queenstown

We went out on the RealNZ Milford Monarch. The Captain was very informative of the sights and history of the sound. He took us close to beautiful waterfalls for great photo ops. The cafe had good food and drinks. This is a beautiful experience worth the long drive

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!

My family and I had a great time on this tour. Mr. Chao, the driver, was informative and gave thorough instructions on pick up points throughout all the stops we made. It was an extremely rainy day, but that just made the waterfalls even more magical.

the registration was smooth, even the boarding and off boarding. Watching the engine room was exciting. Farm tour and the tour guide was very informational. I was excited and enjoyed the most was feeding the animals, removing the sheep's hide, and watching kim (dog) hearding the sheeps. The tea (coffee, juice) and light snack were also sufficient and taste well. Overall the experience was exemplary. Great for solo, couples, and families with kids.

It was a really nice experience and the guide is really friendly, knowledgeable, and humorous :) The bus transportation was on time, we weren’t rushed at every landmark, and we took lots of pictures!

The most unforgettable and rewarding experience! Lovely driver especially, I love the radio on board, lots of familiar and classic songs that I can sing along with. And we were so lucky that it was a cloudy and rainy day so that we could see multiple small waterfalls besides the big ones.

Super fun! Thrilling and exciting ride. The price is worth every turn of the shotover boat!! They provided safety precautions prior to the activity so everyone doesn’t have to worry. You should just listen to the boat driver and take it seriously. The whole experience is really worth it and I can say it’s one of my core memories from my ZQN travel. Hoping to try this again when we plan to come back!

I booked a time slot directly at this onsen, and it was a fantastic experience. Upon arrival, the staff was welcoming and had my booking ready. The facilities were immaculate: clean changing areas, and the water temperature was perfect. I loved having the freedom to soak at my own pace without being rushed by a group schedule. For anyone who prefers a self-guided, peaceful onsen visit without extra sightseeing stops, just booking the onsen directly is the way to go. Highly recommend!
