Queenstown, New Zealand

Dubbed the "Adventure Capital of the World," Queenstown is nestled on the pristine shores of Lake Wakatipu and framed by the dramatic Southern Alps. It's a high-energy destination where breathtaking natural beauty provides a playground for every thrill imaginable.

Beyond the world-famous bungee jumping and canyon swings, experience the legendary Shotover Jet boat ride. For a different pace, take the Skyline Gondola to Bob's Peak for panoramic views, or embark on a breathtaking day trip to the fiords of Milford Sound.

The town buzzes with an international food scene. While the queue at Fergburger is a rite of passage, the region's Pinot Noir, particularly from the Gibbston Valley, offers a more refined taste of Central Otago.
