What’s Hot
Kawarau Bridge Bungy
AJ Hackett Bungy & Swing AJ Hackett Bungy has been a Queenstown must do since the Kawarau Bridge site opened as the world’s first commercial Bungy operation in 1988. AJ Hackett Bungy have since opened several other Jump sites in Queenstown, each with its own unique element of fun and fear (see pages 38-42). Their latest innovation pushes in new directions all together with another world first: The Nevis Arc, utilising ground-breaking technology and delivering the World’s Highest Swing accelerating you at mind blowing speeds in a massive 300m Arc! For more info on the ultimate in Queenstown adrenalin check out pages 38, 40 & 57.
Luge Step out of the Skyline Gondola high above Queenstown and into a racy luge to test your driving skills in a series of downhill hairpin bends. Great fun for cruisy sightseeing, taking in the scenery or get the blood pumping and race to the bottom on the fast track. See page 58.
Milford Sound Go by road or fly, to visit this spectacular natural wonder of the world. Wet or dry Milford Sound will captivate you with sheer cliff faces plunging into one of New Zealand’s most stunning fiords, it really is a must see that is guaranteed to leave an impression.

What’s Hot
Jet Boating The Jet Boat was invented in New Zealand’s South Island when a clever Kiwi found a way to make a propellerless boat go at high speeds up-stream and against the flow of the river. This Kiwi innovation was the first adventure tourism product to establish itself in Queenstown way back in 1970. With the number of fantastic waterways to explore in the Southern Lakes, Jet Boating is a thriving activity. There are a range of Jet Boating opportunities available in the region to suit everyone from the more scenic options to the flat out thrills of the world famous Shotover Jet. To book your own jet boating adventure Jet boating options see pages 39-49.
NZONE Skydive A bigger aircraft capable of carrying more passengers means NZONE Skydive can take more thrill-seekers to the skies above Queenstown, improving the experience for customers without increasing effects on neighbours. The award winning tandem skydive operator has recently introduced a Cessna Grand Caravan, known as a ‘Supervan 900’. The plane can carry up to nine tandem jumpers – allowing NZONE to keep groups together during their once-in-a-lifetime experience, and is the quietest and most efficient aircraft available for commercial skydiving. NZONE are celebrating 21 years of skydiving in New Zealand, having jumped over 180,000 passengers to date. With the most comprehensive photo pack in New Zealand (containing CD of photos, DVD video, 25 printed images, 7 personalised postcards, certificate and online access to upload photos to the internet) for lifetime memories. Relive and share the experience anytime, YOU DID IT! See page 41.
Getting Out On The Lake To truly appreciate the sheer scale of Queenstown’s magnificent surroundings, enjoy th expansive view from lake level. Heritage cruises on board TSS Earnslaw steamship to Walter Peak High Country Farm or Lake Cruises are all fantastic options to get out on Lake Wakatipu and add another dimension to your Queenstown experience.

Heli-Skiing
Heli-skiing has got to be one of the most exciting and exhilarating winter activities anywhere in the world, and any intermediate skier or snowboarder with enthusiasm and a reasonable degree of fitness can get into it! That’s right; If you can handle the Blue Runs YOU CAN HELI-SKI! Imagine standing on top of an untouched powder paradise, surrounded by Lakes and Mountains, miles from anywhere; you click in to your bindings, take a deep breath of pure mountain air and contemplate the majesty of your surroundings. You push off and glide into exhilaration. Powder flies, adrenaline pumps and you soon become a tiny figure amongst the immense silence of the mountain world. At the bottom the helicopter awaits to lift you effortlessly to the top of another peak.

Around Queenstown
Arrowtown looks great in all seasons. Tucked away at the end of a valley, away from the prevailing winds, the town is known for its tranquillity and charm. It is the perfect foil for its busier neighbour, Queenstown. If you want to shop at a leisurely pace, dine at the many cafes or restaurants, take in a movie at a boutique cinema, undertake one of the many walks close to the town or soak up the history at the Lakes District Museum, then Arrowtown is a ‘must visit’. Linger by the river with locally-baked pie or kiwi fish and chips. Arrowtown’s unique museum, established in 1948, presents an authentic picture of early Maori in the Southern Lakes District, exhibits the harsh pioneering days of the European Settlers, and the exciting goldrush era. The museum complex includes the town’s original Bank of New Zealand premises, the bank’s stables and the town’s baker’s oven all built circa 1875. Exhibits are family friendly and hands on learning is always encouraged. Not only are the trees a point of difference for Arrowtown, but also its history. The site of the first gold discovery in the Wakatipu in 1862, the town has managed to retain many of its heritage buildings. Through planning controls and community lobbying, around 60 buildings and features remain. During the goldrush, Chinese miners were invited to the town in an effort to stimulate the flagging economy. Their settlement on the outskirts of town has been turned into a park with some of the buildings remaining intact, while others have been recreated to give the visitor a sense of how the Chinese miners lived. Walking and biking have become increasingly popular with over 15 trails leaving from Arrowtown. These range from 1 hour circuits to all day expeditions – a trail map is available at the Museum.

Day cruises depart from the wharf complex, a short walk from the Blue Duck Café and Bar. En route, you’ll get to see Milford Sound’s dramatic waterfalls, including the Bowen, Fairy and Stirling Falls, as well as Mitre Peak and the Milford Sound Underwater Observatory at Harrison Cove. Located 10m underwater, this observation gallery looks out over the heart of the fiord, allowing visitors to see fish, sea fans, giant starfish and even the odd seal.
