Queenstown is the place you can do it all. Known as the adventure capital of the world you will be spoilt for choice, from bungee jumping to jet boating and sky diving to canoeing. For those with more gentle pursuits in mind, cruise the lake on the old steamship the ‘Earnslaw’, visit historic Arrowtown, take a ‘Lord of the Rings’ tour or enjoy the excellent local wineries.

At the end of an exhilarating day enjoy a romantic dinner at one of the many world class restaurants.
