Adventure capital of the world – Queenstown, New Zealand

~ Top 5 adventure activities that you cannot miss in Queenstown ~

Surrounded by majestic mountains and nestled on the shores of crystal clear Lake Wakatipu, Queenstown is New Zealand’s premier four season lake and alpine resort. Popularly known as the ‘Adventure Capital of the World’, Queenstown is a lakeside town of captivating beauty in the heart of New Zealand's picturesque South Island. Queenstown is treasured for its magnificent scenery, adventure opportunities and luxury lifestyle.

Queenstown is the most preferred spot for Bollywood movies made in New Zealand. Recent popular movie I Hate Luv Storys was shot in scenic Queenstown on the shores of Lake Wakatipu and in gorgeous Glenorchy!

To get a taste of New Zealand’s adventure spirit, below are the 5 must do activities:

1.    AJ Hackett bungy: If you've heard of bungy, then you've heard of the Kawarau Bridge, home to the world's first and most famous of leaps. 43m above the Kawarau River, with 8.5 seconds of falling, it’s a breathtaking ground rush like no other.

Come, stand on the edge and face your fear with 8.5 seconds of falling. Home to the world’s first and most famous of leaps, the AJ Hackett bungy at the Kawarau Bridge, 43m above the Kawarau River, is a breathtaking ground rush like no other.

At the world's best-loved bungy site, you can choose from a number of options; topple over backwards, forwards, with another person, spin or somersault. Kawarau Bridge Bungy is also the only Bungy in Queenstown where you can choose to bob above the water, touch it, or be fully immersed.

2.    Sky diving:  Embrace your fear with a sky dive. It takes courage to jump from an aircraft at 15,000ft into thin air! Located amidst the most breathtaking scenery in the world, your flight to altitude takes you high above the alpine town, over beautiful lakes and snow-capped mountains. Upon reaching altitude, you and your instructor jump from the aircraft, freefalling thousands of feet at adrenalin pumping 200 kilometers/h. Your instructor operates the parachute and gently you glide towards the earth!

3.    Jetboating: Nothing you have experienced will have you prepared for the thrill and excitement of a Shotover Jet ride; it is an adrenaline rush you'll never forget! Speeding in mere centimeters of water along the famous Shotover River and deep into the Shotover River Canyons surrounded by towering rocky walls, a Shotover Jet boat ride whips past rocky outcrops, skims around crags and boulders, and twists through the narrow canyons at breath taking speeds that produces an adrenalin rush never to be forgotten! Rock faces blur in your peripheral vision, the opaque water sprays into myriads of white crystals with every turn, and you grip the hand rail for comfort and reassurance and then let out a whoop of excitement as your driver spins the boat around in its own boat length — The World famous Shotover Jet full 360 degree spin.

4.    Canyon Swing: From a platform on the edge of a cliff above the Shotover River, you are fitted into a seat and chest harness and connected to the jump ropes. Be prepared for a highly adrenalinised sensation created by the unique combination of natural geography and ingenuity. The rush starts at the platform, as you leap or launch from the 109 metre high cliff edge. Gravity accelerates you for 60 metres of freefall just metres from the vertical cliff face. Reaching speeds of 150kph, feel the canyonous rocks rush towards you before the ropes smoothly swing you past. Gravity is a toy, come out and play!

5.    Heli hiking: Enjoy a scenic helicopter ride into the wild and remote high country surrounding Lake Wanaka followed by a 2 hour downhill guided hike. See lake Wakatipu's mysterious northern shores, unparalleled views of Mount Aspiring and the mighty Rees and Dart River valleys. Experience the majesty and solitude of this pristine alpine environment as you start your 2 hour downhill hike through the flowing tussock grasses along paths more frequented by wildlife than humans!
