Holiday Description
Come with us on a journey across the ditch to the postcard perfect south island of New Zealand where you’ll experience some of the most popular activities Queenstown has to offer.
The stunning lake Wakatipu surrounded by a range of famous mountains, Queenstown really is something to behold and a magical place like no other.
Travel up Bob’s Peak on the Skyline Gondola. You’ll be carried 450 metres above Queenstown and Lake Wakatipu where you’ll enjoy a spectacular 220-degree panorama with breath-taking views of Coronet Peak, The Remarkables, Walter and Cecil Peak and, of course, Queenstown. Take the driving seat with the gravity-fuelled Skyline Luge, the global thrill ride for all ages. The purpose-built Luge carts put you in complete control as you take on over 1600 metres of banked corners, tunnels and dippers. Once you’ve conquered the course, hop on the chairlift and do it all again! Gentle and leisurely or steep and adventurous, you’ll be hooked!
One of the best ways to see Queenstown’s surrounding landscape is a cruise across Lake Wakatipu aboard the iconic century-old coal-fired steamship, the TSS Earnslaw. Take time to explore the vessel, view the engine room, and study the historic displays of the steamship’s former life. And enjoy a snack or beverage at the on board Promenade Café and licenced bar. You’ll be blown away by the size of the surrounding mountains as you cruise in comfort on the water below them.
Indulge in tranquillity and relaxation with a session at the famous Onsen Hot Pools. Looking over the Shotover River, the spa has 14 world-renowned cedar-lined hot pools that offer the ultimate relaxation experience. You’ll feel like a movie star soaking in the hot tub surrounded by the stunning mountains. The perfect way to cap off your New Zealand holiday!
