Journey to the southern hemisphere to experience winter down under in Queenstown, New Zealand. For thrill-seeking travelers, Lord of the Rings fans and even local Kiwis, this picturesque town is a hotspot for activities. 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.

Some of our favorite historic properties—including the delcoronado in San Diego—are said to be haunted by the ghosts of guests past. In the case of the Del, the spirit of Kate Morgan, who checked into the iconic resort in 1892, is believed to have never left. (Though with some of the best beachfront access anywhere in California, we can’t say we blame her for wanting to stay at the property forever.) Tell us, would you stay at a haunted hotel? #Halloween #hauntedhotels #luxuryhotels

We’ve said it once, and we’ll say it again: biking is one of the best ways to explore destinations both new and familiar. 🚴🏽‍♀️ And viceroyhotels seems to agree. The hotel group has just launched a selection of curated routes out of its hotels in Santa Monica, Chicago, Washington D.C., and the Algarve, Portugal, with cycling brand Rapha. Designed for serious bikers and leisurely riders alike, each guided route is designed to get lost in the hidden corners of each destination and connect with local communities in a way you can’t on four wheels. #travelinspiration #biking #biketravel #cycling #luxurytravel
