29 days in Queenstown Itinerary

Sheltered in an inlet of Lake Wakatipu, the resort town of Queenstown enjoys a strong reputation for its adventuring and skiing opportunities.

Change things up with these side-trips from Queenstown: Wanaka (Puzzling World, Lake Wanaka, &more), Little Paradise Dream Garden (in Mount Creighton) and Te Anau (Milford Sound, Fiordland Vintage Machinery Museum, &more). There's much more to do: have some family-friendly fun at Skyline Queenstown, whizz through the canopy at some of the top local zipline courses and adventure parks, get the adrenaline pumping with an extreme tour, and trek along Hollyford Track.
