Come for the lake, stay for the adrenaline




Queenstown is a resort town in Otago in the south-west of New Zealand's South Island. It is built around an inlet on Lake Wakatipu, a long thin lake shaped like a staggered lightning bolt, and has spectactular views of nearby mountains.

A resort town, Queenstown is a centre for adventure tourism. Skiing, jet boating, bungy jumping, mountain biking, tramping and fly fishing are all strong promotional themes.

It reminded me of Banff, lots of posh shops and tons of tourists everywhere. If you are looking for some heart stopping activities, this is the place to be.

Scarry.
