Queenstown and Wanaka
At the southern foot of the Southern Alps lies the vibrant town of Queenstown, beautifully situated on the expansive Lake Wakatipu. It is known as the 'adventure capital of the world' because here you can try almost any adventurous sport or activity you can think of. But the town also has a completely different side. You will also find a thriving art scene, fantastic fine dining restaurants, and the serene shores of the lake, inviting for walks and picnics. Or take a boat trip on the historic steamer TSS Earnslaw. For a panoramic view of the town and the lake, take the cable car up the mountain.
The surrounding mountain landscape offers many more opportunities for stunning hikes, off-road excursions, and mountain biking adventures. There are also vineyards where you can enjoy delicious wine tastings. Additionally, there are several good golf courses to play on.
If Queenstown appeals to you but you are looking for something a bit smaller and quieter, then travel to Wanaka. The charming town of Wanaka is very picturesque, situated on Lake Wanaka in the Southern Alps. Here too, outdoor enthusiasts can find plenty to do, but you can also relax and enjoy the shops, galleries, fine dining restaurants, cafes, and sample beers at some artisanal breweries.
