Queenstown Luxury Tours | Extraordinary Journeys

Perfectly situated on the crystalline Lake Wakatipu with mountains on either side, Queenstown, also known as New Zealand’s “adventure capital”, brims with experiences for the intrepid traveler.

Choose from boating, skiing, river rafting, hiking, biking and horseback riding, to name but a few. Plus, adrenaline-pumping activities like bungee jumping at Kawerau Bridge (the world’s first ever commerical bungee jump), skydiving, or canyon swinging are just a few of the highlights to add to the list. If you want to slow things down, Queenstown is also home to countless top restaurants and vineyards, as well as a lively arts scene.
