From Tandem Paragliding to Heliskiing, Bungy Jumping, River Jet-boating, White Water Raftingand mountain hikes - if you like your activities served extreme, there is plenty to choose from in Queenstown.

Although Queenstown is renowned as the Worlds best playground for adrenaline junkies it certainly offers much more then just high-action, extreme activities.

There are fabulous restaurants, health and beauty spa's, nature walks, international golf courses, fly fishing, shopping, cultural tours, tranquil lake cruises and much more.

Queenstown during winter transforms into another environment. Once the snow arrives it is time to ski and the resort is very well serviced with several easily accessed ski fields including Coronet Peak, Cardrona, The Remarkables and Treble Cone.

Feeling brave? -take a leap of faith into thin air with AJ Hackett Bungy. Choose from the worlds first ever site at the Kawarau Bridge, or off a ledge at the top of a mountain. Another option is a very scary swing from a rope over the Shotover Canyon.

A ride up the Skyline Gondola for 220 degree panorama views including Coronet Peak and Lake Wakatipu offers a more relaxing alternative. Once there you also have available a restaurant, cafe, luge, walks and hikes. A unique experience is the Haka Pa which offers a taste of Maori cultural. It includes a formal welcome to their Maori Village, concert performance and traditional Maori feast.

Why not try a relaxing cruise across Lake Wakatipu on board the TSS Earnslaw Steamship - take in the history and natural splendor of the Lake.

It's not just all hype - Queenstown really is an incredible and unique destination that offers unrivalled opportunities. Where else in the world in a single day can you jump off a bridge then play a relaxing round of golf. Then take a stunning gondola ride before racing down a steep hill on a Luge, enjoying lunch afterwards in an award winning caf before trying a spot of fly-fishing and travelling at break-neck speed down the Shotover River on a jet boat before enjoying a relaxing massage before heading out to enjoy the awesome bars and restaurants in the heart of the town?
