    Dem activities.

    1. Right upon your arrival into Queenstown Airport, you're exposed to its amazing landscape.

    2. The second you get off the plane you're going to want to get right into the action that Queenstown has to offer. Ever been in a shark?

    3. Why not go for a casual luge?

    4. And while you're up there maybe a quick bungy?

    5. That bungy not high enough for you? Fine! A short trip out of town will take you to the Nevis bungy.

    6. Then cool off with the world famous Shotover Jet!

    7. Ever had Ferg Burger? It's known as the "best burger in the world." Enjoy those 90 minute waits though, they are DEFINITELY worth it!

    8. But according to the locals, Devils Burger's is better.

    9. How about the main thing you came the Queenstown for, the snow! But where do you start?! There's The Remarkables?

    10. Coronet Peak.

    11. If that's not enough for you, travel a bit further out of Queenstown and check out Cardrona Alpine Resort!

    12. If you're up for a challenge hit up Treble Cone, but it's not for the faint at heart.

    13. Need something to do after an intense day of carving up on the slopes? How about the Fear Factory?

    14. Then end the night at Minus 5 Ice Bar!

    15. Fancy some wine? Check out Central Otago which is the world’s southern most wine producing region.

    16. Big fan of Lord of The Rings? Well it was filmed in New Zealand, and in particular around Queenstown. There are tours dedicated to taking you to the sights where the films were set.

    17. Finally, you can't miss the sights of Milford Sound. It's only a small distance from Queenstown so you have no reason not to.
