Queenstown Outdoor & sports activities

The Best Experience Ever!!! I did 12000ft with NZONE and the whole experience was so smooth. The crew was very nice and encouraging throughout. Amazing tandem masters. Definitely felt like once in a lifetime experience although I might do it again if I ever visit Queenstown :) Totally worth the money.

I have to say, my first experience with live-fire shooting was really thrilling. It's suitable for all ages and genders — we all had a great time.

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! 👍

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!

This activity definitely is the best experience in my New Zealand trip! highly recommend u guys go to play! There was a shuttle to drive you to the place and back to the town! it is very convenient!

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

Can’t complain with this once in a lifetime experience. No regret. Friendly and encouraging staff. Highly recommend!

awesome experience unlike anything in Australia.shooting was surprisingly fun.

My instructor, Sam, was thoughtful, explained things clearly, and made learning fun. He's a perfect coach! 🫵🏻🫶🏻 Here's a general overview of the process: Day Before: * First, head to the Queenstown city store to pick up your equipment. Take it back to your accommodation and bring it with you to the ski field/shuttle the next day. When you pick up your equipment, the staff will provide two hard cards (passes). * It's recommended to pick up your equipment in the city beforehand, otherwise, you'll have a long wait at the ski field. 📌 If you've added the city-to-ski-field shuttle service: * When booking, select your shuttle pick-up location. I chose the Crowne Plaza. The Klook system will display the departure time when you select your location. For my location, the departure was at 7:40 AM. It's always recommended to arrive 10-20 minutes early. * When boarding, the driver will confirm your reservation name and help load your snowboard/skis into the luggage compartment. You'll carry your ski boots and other personal items onto the bus yourself. * The bus will first stop at a parking lot halfway up the mountain to pick up other visitors who drove themselves. Once the bus is full, it will continue to the ski field, arriving around 9:30 AM. * The driver will explain on the bus that you'll take the same bus back. It's a good idea to take a photo or note down the license plate number, as it will make the return trip much easier. If you lose the hard card you received the day before: * Upon arriving at the ski field, go up the stairs, and the main hall is on your left. To the right of the main hall entrance, there are two self-service machines. * Scan the barcode from the attachment in the official ski resort's email (not Klook's email) to re-issue a soft card pass. If you need to change equipment: * If your ski boots, snowboard, or other equipment don't fit, you'll need to take your pass to the Rentals area and queue to exchange them. * Rentals is located to the right of the ticket counter in the main hall. Just join the queue. Lesson Process: * Lessons start at 10:30 AM. * After getting geared up, follow the crowd straight ahead, pass through the red archway, and look for the orange flag on your left. Inform the staff that you are attending the one-day beginner lesson, and they will help with group assignments. First Lesson: * Mainly focuses on basic techniques: putting on/taking off your snowboard, identifying your dominant foot, braking, S-turns, and how to use the magic carpet. * Afterward, you'll practice on a small gentle slope, then move to a slightly larger slope for actual skiing. Lunch Break: * You can leave your equipment on the small slope next to the lesson area. * Lunch is from 1:00 PM to 1:45 PM. * Return to the meeting point promptly at 1:45 PM to continue the lesson. Second Lesson: * If the entire group is doing well overall: * The instructor will usually lead everyone down the small slope 1-2 times to warm up and assess their condition. * Then, you'll take the chairlift to the top of the mountain, and the instructor will guide you down the easiest beginner trail, usually for about 2 runs. Lessons end at 3:45 PM. Return Shuttle (for those who purchased round-trip transfers): * The shuttle bus departs at 4:15 PM. * Many people will queue near the ticket counter to board the bus, but you don't need to join that queue. * Walk towards the entrance stairs, turn right, and walk straight. You'll see many buses parked there. Find the same bus you took in the morning (which is why it was suggested to note the license plate earlier). * After the driver confirms your reservation name, you can board, and then it's a direct return to Queenstown city.
