Queenstown - Adventure Capital of the World!
New Zealand is world famous for being full of adrenaline junkie "Kiwi's" who will figure out a way to leap off, swing from, be towed at high speeds by, or jump out of as many things as possible.

Well, the hype is all true, and nowhere is it more evident than in Queenstown. Look up for the skydivers and Para gliders. Watch the mountains for bungee jumpers and snow boarders leaping from the slopes. Glance at the lake to see a jet boat swish past the stately Earnslaw steamer. And tucked away in the surrounding hills is more evidence of 'Kiwi Ingenuity' - the Canyon Swing, the Fly by Wire and the breathtaking Nevis Bungee.

And later, after your thrill filled, endorphin charging day, you'll find out that Queenstown is famous for one more extreme sport - it?s a town of partying hard!
There are a kaleidoscope of different bars to choose from, including Base Discovery Lodge's in house Altitude Bar.

This is one town where there is always adventure to be found!
