Try Your Adrenaline at Queenstown Newzealand

If you desire of naturally green atmosphere environment then Queenstown could be one of the “heaven” that you should visit, surrounding by valley and smooth wind will make your mind feel very fresh and relax in this place.

Queenstown is a small town, located on the edge of Wakatipu lake, the type of leisure and calm city. Car traffic like most of small towns in New Zealand was a little bit, very orderly and not rush due to maximum speed on the road only allow 50km per hour in the city.

Queenstown is a base for tourists who are fond of nature or activity that requires a high-adrenaline. There are many walking trail outside the city, tramping and climbing is also available, you can select the length time you want it’s from 2 hours or up to 8 hours. Activities such as bungy jumping, rafting (white water rafting), kanoe, jet-boating, hang-gliding all available not far from the downtown.

The Queenstown downtown is not so big, just a few blocks. Most of the stores will be closed above 6pm to 7pm except the bar. You will find a special pedestrian strip called The Mall which many clothing store and souvenir there and also became a place for dinner.

There is no public transport which meaning just three lines to the Connectabus Fernhill, Frankton, and Arrowtown. Ticket prices start at $5.50. Day pass was $13.50 for unlimited ride. Generally we use car rental to get around town or out of town.

Parking in the middle of town (street parking) belongs to the expensive, i.e. $2/hour but start from 6pm this parking area become free.

If you have a chance, please take the time to ride the Skyline Gondola headed to Bob's Peak. The view from the top of the hill is very spectacular with the city, the lake, and flanked by mountains. It is very perfect natural view.

This skyline gondola tickets charge at $21, you can buy along with luge package. We can ride the luge (2 tracks), a small car/train controlled by hand, down the hill at speeds high enough (but it safe). You can also drink and eat a snack in the cafe at the top while looking at this beautiful view of the city. We can even take the gondola package along with the bicycle (rental separately), so you can careening by bike.
