Introduction:    Queenstown has the reputation of being New Zealand’s Adventure Capital, some even say it’s the world’s favourite adrenaline destination.  It’s fast-paced, edgy, and buzzing with activities to suit every taste.  The beautiful Remarkables Mountain Range provides the stunning back-drop to the 84 km long Lake Wakatipu, New Zealand’s longest lake.  Nestling midway on its northern shores, Queenstown sits perfectly poised to take advantage of all the adventure opportunities the surrounding natural beauties provide. No matter what the season, Queenstown’s calendar is burgeoning not only with outdoor and sports events, but with arts, music, and cultural shows as well.   Luckily, its compact town centre makes checking out the numerous cafes and bars on foot a practical and enjoyable option, while the numerous tour operators in the area can ensure that all activities are readily accessible.  Adventure playground by day, vibrant social scene by night, the main challenge when visiting Queenstown will be fitting everything you want to do into your schedule.
