Things to do in Queenstown

omg.. 10/10 experience. i did the Nevis Swing w my partner and we did forwards - truly jawdropping and the G is unlike anything we’ve ever experienced before - we do a lot of thrilling activities. do note that the pickup location is in town area and you will be transported on a 4WD bus to go up the mountain - around 40min drive. staff were very friendly and i suggest you cater about 4 hours for this experience in case of bad winds or bad weather. we almost couldn’t swing due to the major winds but thankfully we waited it out! had to reschedule our other later appointment but alls good. highly recommend!!!!

The TSS Earnslaw Cruise and Farm Show was one of the best experiences of our trip! The cruise itself was beautiful and relaxing, but the farm show truly made it unforgettable. The demonstration was fun, engaging, and gave us a real taste of New Zealand farm life — we loved every moment of it. After the show, the afternoon tea was such a treat. There was a lot of variety, from sweet to savoury options, and everything was delicious. The whole experience felt well-organised, enjoyable, and perfect for all ages. Definitely one of the highlights of our Queenstown adventure — highly recommended! 🚢🐑☕✨

A wonderful experience, glad we followed a day tour instead of self drive so we could admire the view better, be relaxed and learn more about each of the pit stops (eg. monkey creek). Loved the cruise ride had great weather and views! the food on the cruise was good too! We went for the last tour which set off at 8am from Crowne Plaza and boarded the last cruise out at 2.30pm. It’ll be good to have some light snacks else lunch will be served quite late. We had the falafel (vegan) wrap which was served cold and still yummy while the chicken pie was served warm! both options were yummy!

friendly counter staff. answered queries clearly. transfer by bus very easy to drop zone. we can wait at drop zone to watch the jumpers. professional trainers. easy to use klook. Just say your name, its good to go.

had a really fun time with shotover jet! it was a little pricey but the views and the experience was pretty good. wish i had my phone w me on the boat because by right, no loose articles allowed but the instructor told us we could take photos while on the boat when it was at a complete stop 😭 the go pro on the boat was also not working that day 😩😔 suggest you guys check at the counter first or before boarding. they do have lockers for you to store your bags before boarding the boat

Amazing tour! Ian was a great tour guide – very knowledgeable and entertaining throughout the entire drive to the ferry. A must-do if you're traveling to Milford Sound. The captain of the ferry was also very entertaining. Thank you, RealNZ team, for such an amazing experience! Highly recommend this tour and will be booking future experiences with RealNZ.

Our Onsen Hot Pools experience was absolutely magical — the perfect way to relax and unwind during our New Zealand trip. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was peaceful and luxurious. The private cedar hot pool overlooking the mountains and river felt like our own little sanctuary. The water temperature was perfect, the setting was serene, and the whole experience was incredibly soothing. We loved how quiet and intimate it felt — just pure relaxation with stunning views. It was the ideal break after days of exploring, and one of the moments we’ll never forget. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Queenstown. It’s the ultimate relaxation experience! ♨️✨

It was a very well-planned, well-organized trip. We had Ivan to guide us and I must admit, we returned much enriched with information of the region (in addition to his amazing driving skills). Would definitely recommend this to anyone who has not been to Milford Sound before

Upon arriving at the reception, after confirming your reservation information, the staff will give you your boat ticket. Keep it safe, then follow the staff's instructions to go outside and verify your reservation name with the driver. Once all guests are onboard, the driver will explain the day's itinerary and provide ongoing commentary. There will be stops along the way at several locations for photo opportunities, and there will also be some time spent in Te Anau for restroom breaks/eating/resting. Once you arrive at the boat launch, hand your ticket to the staff and board the boat. The captain will also provide commentary along the way. Free coffee, tea, and hot water are available on board for self-service. If you would like to purchase other hot food or drinks, they are also available on board. Milford Sound experiences a fair amount of rain, and when passing several large waterfalls, the boat will get quite close. If you are on the deck, you are likely to get wet, so it is recommended to bring a raincoat or wear a windproof and waterproof jacket. The fiord landscape is unique and not visible in many places. The scenery along the way is also beautiful and very worthwhile. I heartily recommend that anyone traveling to the South Island come and see it.
