Queenstown, booked with locals
Bungy, jet boat, Milford Sound and more, chosen by people who live here.
A small town at the end of a long lake, where every day out is a big one
Queenstown sits on Lake Wakatipu, under a range called The Remarkables, and the mountains are right there. You can be on a summit, a river or a ski field within forty minutes of finishing breakfast.
In 1988 two locals tied a rope to the Kawarau Bridge and invented commercial bungy. The town never looked back. Jet boats, canyon swings, skydives and heli-skiing all grew up here, run by people who still live down the road.
It isn't only adrenaline. Gibbston's vineyards are among the southernmost in the world, Milford Sound is a day trip, Arrowtown turns gold every April, and there's always a lakefront bar waiting at the end of it.

Spring in Queenstown: the quiet one
The trails are empty, the lupins are out along the lake, and prices are the lowest of the year. Cardrona runs into early October if you want one last ski day.

Frequently asked questions
The things people ask us most before they book
If the operator cancels for weather, you choose a new date or take a full refund, with no fees. Milford flights, skydives and some lake trips are the most weather-dependent, so book those early in your stay and leave a spare day to rebook.
Bungy, jet boat and the gondola usually have space a day or two out, even in summer. Milford Sound coaches, skydives and anything between Christmas and the end of January sell out a week or more ahead, so book those first and fit the rest around them.
Yes. Change the date or time for free up to 24 hours before, from the link in your confirmation or by messaging us on WhatsApp. Inside 24 hours the operator's own policy applies, and we show it to you before you confirm.
Most bungy jumps take ages 10 and up with weight limits of roughly 35 to 235 kg, and tandem skydives have a maximum of about 100 kg. Every activity page lists the exact limits, and we check them with you before confirming.
Layers, closed shoes, sunscreen and water cover almost everything. Queenstown weather changes fast, even in summer. Operators supply all safety gear, and river trips include splash jackets or wetsuits.
Most tours include pickup from central Queenstown hotels and the main bus stops. Your pickup point and time are on your booking confirmation. Airport transfers can be added when you book.
Summer (December to February) is best for hiking and the lake, winter (June to August) for skiing, autumn for Arrowtown's colours, and spring for quieter trails and lower prices. Bungy, jet boat, the gondola and Milford Sound run all year.
All prices are in New Zealand dollars and include 15% GST, with no booking fees. We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Apple Pay. The currency switcher shows an estimate in your own currency.
