Bungee jumping, skydiving and horseback riding are at the top of the itinerary for Queenstown visitors looking to check off bucket-list-musts.

Did You Know?

Kawarau Gorge Suspension Bridge is considered to be the “World Home of Bungy.” Whether you choose to go solo or as a pair, visitors are bound (literally) to remember this 43-meter drop; You can step it up a notch at New Zealand’s highest bungee jump also located in Queenstown: Nevis, at 134 meters.

Explore


High Country Horses


If you’re a film fanatic, make sure to explore locations on the South Island by horse! High Country Horses will take guests through the landscape (and scenes) of Lord of the Rings, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobeand The Wolverine.

"For thrill-seeking travelers, Lord of the Rings fans and even local Kiwis, this picturesque town is a hotspot for activities."


Shotover Jet


The Shotover Jet is one of the first family-friendly adventure experiences unique to Queenstown. Take a thrilling ride through the Shotover River canyons and be sure to hold on as your driver will likely err on the side of adventure versus caution. The boat operates every day of the year (apart from Christmas), so be sure to dress appropriately, as it can get quite chilly whipping around during the winter months.

Stay

Indulge


Fergberger


When in Queenstown, do as the locals do and eat a massive Fergberger. With options from prime NZ steak to Wild Fiordland deer, tempura tofu or “The Codfather,” there’s something for every picky eater. Tip: Be prepared to get here early or wait in line for this popular breakfast and lunch spot.

Erik's Fish and Chips

For over 100 years, fish and chips or “fush and chups” as the locals say, has been a favorite dish. This English meal may even be better down under. Using local ingredients (and even some gluten-free options), Erik’s Fish and Chips is a favorite amongst Kiwis.

Would you go on a quietcation? One of this year’s biggest travel trends has us seeking out silence—like the kind you’ll find if you’re in Bali on March 19th for Nyepi. For 24 hours, the island goes quiet in celebration of the Hindu New Year, giving residents and guests space to cleanse negative energy, reflect, and welcome in new beginnings. 📸 Courtesy of Hoshino Resorts #quietcations #traveltrends #luxurytravel #bali

Sometimes, over-the-top trips look like five-star hotels and private jets. Other times, it looks more like this: taking in the stars while on a guided horseback trek across Mongolia’s wild steppes, deserts, and mountains with pelorusx. What’s more your speed? #luxurytravel #travelinspiration #bucketlist #mongolia
