37 Best Things to do in Queenstown New Zealand

Okay, with a quick list of the top-3 tours out of the way, let's get into the real list! Remember, even with close to 40 activities, there are just so many epic things to do and see in Queenstown that this long list barely scratches the surface.

Nevertheless, these travel tips, outdoor activities, and adventure ideas will surely help you plan your New Zealand adventures.

1. Bungee Jumping with AJ Hacket

By far, the most iconic Queenstown adrenaline activity is a bungee jump with AJ Hackett.

In fact, many Queenstowners consider this a rite of passage!

Having been around since 1988, AJ Hackett is the world's best, safest and biggest bungee jumping company. If you've always wanted to try bungee, then there's no better place than the birthplace of bungee in the adventure capital of New Zealand!

You'll have a few options; The Ledge (47 metres), Kawarau Bridge (43 metres), and the Nevis (137 metres).

2. The Skyline Gondola Ride

Did you know that Queenstown is home to the Southern hemisphere's steepest cable car?

Taking the Skyline Gondola offers great views of Queenstown. At the top, you'll have impressive panoramic views from Bob's Peak overlooking the town, the Remarkables and Lake Wakatipu.

There are also plenty of Queenstown activities to choose from at the top, including the Luge and the Nevis bungy.

The cost per adult is $44, however, there is an online deal where you can purchase a Gondola + 2x Luge rides and save some money.

3. The Queenstown Luge

Located right beside the gondola, the Skyline Luge is a popular adventure activity worth your time.

The luge track snakes and turns through banks, tunnels and forest with constant views of the Remarkables, surrounding mountains, and Lake Wakatipu. When it comes to luge rides, I'd say this has to be the most scenic on earth!

4. TSS Earnslaw Cruise to Walter Peak High Country

If you search online, the most-recommended cruise activity in Queenstown is onboard the 1912 vessel, the TSS Earnslaw.

This unique boat as an onboard museum, and cruises down the beautiful lake Wakatipu before disembarking at Walter Peak High Country Station for a Gourmet BBQ.

5. Tiki Trail to the Skyline Gondola

For those of you who'd prefer to lace up the boots and hit the trails then Queenstown also has some of the most accessible hiking trails in New Zealand.

Just beside the Skyling Gondola is Queenstown's Tiki Trail, which twists and turns steeply up the mountain to Bob's Peak and the Skyline Gondola.

This is an enjoyable hike passing through dense birch and fir forest with sounds of native birds and wildlife. It's certainly a peaceful hike until you unexpectedly cross the downhill mountain bike trails which is a great reminder that you are in the adventure capital of the world!

6. Ben Lomond Track

Now for the best hike in Queenstown - the Ben Lomond summit track. This is one of the most epic views you'll find in town!

Continuing on from the Skyling Gondola, the track continues around the bend to a grassy, hilly plain that climbs gently to the Ben Lomond saddle. The final summit push to Ben Lomond's 1748M peak is accessible from the saddle and can be attempted by most fit hikers!

Not only is the Ben Lomond hike one of the best walks or tramps in the area, but many also consider the journey to the summit one of the absolute top things to do in Queenstown New Zealand.

At the top, you'll get insane views of the Remarkables Range, Lake Wakatipu, and the Queenstown foreshore. The summit of Ben Lomond is one of my favourite places in the country. The view from the top is easily worth the effort.

7. Mountain Biking

Queenstown is one of the best places on earth for downhill mountain biking. There is a huge international and local scene here and Queenstown is also the stage for several downhill competitions every year.

There are hundreds of maintained tracks ranging from beginners to professionals. If you don't have your own bike, it's possible to rent one from several bike shops in Queenstown.

You'll also find the best resource on Queenstown bike trails on the Queenstown Trail website.

8. Queenstown Helicopter Tour

By far the best way to see Queenstown is from the sky.

There are loads of different helicopter tours departing from Queenstown including budget-friendly, 20-minute Lake and Remarkables flights, glacier trips, and even half-day flights to Milford Sound!

9. Skippers Canyon

Queenstown is the doorstep for a multitude of epic canyons, gorges, and rapid rivers. Visiting Skippers Canyon is a great way to spend a morning or afternoon. Here, you can do a few short walks and even swim in the turquoise flowing waters of the Shotover River.

Near the car park, you will also find the Edith Cavell Bridge, which is undeniably one of the most scenic bridges I've ever come across!

Best Travel Insurance for New Zealand Adventures

10. Shotover Jet

The Shotover Jet is yet another of Queenstown's iconic adrenaline activities! Located at Skippers Canyon, just next to the Edith Cavell Bridge, this jet-boating activity is one of the most iconic in the world.

Screaming around tight canyons bends and skimming across seemingly inches of water at over 85 kilometres an hour, this is definitely one for adrenaline junkies.

Surprisingly, the Shotover Jet is one of the most affordable activities on this lest of best things. todo in Queenstown. If you book online, you also get a bus transfer from Queenstown.

11. Canyoning Trip

Yep, just 15 minutes from Queenstown and you can be walking through ancient beech forest towards steep-walled canyons.

Canyoneering trips in Queenstown are top-notch and most include ziplines, abseiling, waterfalls, cliff jumps and everything you'd expect from an epic canyoning adventure.

Queenstown canyoning guides are very skilled and no experience is typically required.

12. Take a Tour to Milford Sound & Doubtful Sound

A trip to New Zealand's wild Fjordland sounds is one of the best things you can do in the country. Best of all, it's very easy and relatively inexpensive to book a day trip to both Milford Sound and Doubtful Sound directly from Queenstown.

A cruise down the famous fjords is the best way to take in the sights of the snow-capped mountains of the Southern Alps. This is the very best of New Zealand's wild landscapes. From the towering Mitre Peak to lush rainforest carved by numerous plummeting waterfalls down the sheer cliffs, it's difficult to understand just how incredible the Fjordlands are without visiting them yourself.

Tip: For those with their own car or camper, you can take the scenic drive to Milford Sound by yourself and book a sound cruise directly from the National Park for under $60.

Tip: How to Get Around in New Zealand

Rent a car! New Zealand is very safe for motorists & driving is the best way to explore the country.

Make sure to book in advance using a comparison site like DiscoverCars to get the best deals. Or, if you want a camper, my favourite in NZ is Spaceships.

14. Hike to Queenstown Hill for Sunset

Queenstown Hill is probably the most iconic sunset hike in town. This hike is much easier than the Tiki trail, yet just as rewarding - especially for sunset or sunrise.

The viewpoint at the top of Queenstown Hill offers arguably the best views of the town, as well as clear views of Lake Wakatipu and the Remarkables.

15. Play Frisbee Golf in the Queenstown Gardens

After a long day of adrenaline-pumping adventure activities and hikes, what better way to unwind than to have a beer or two and play frisbee golf with your mates in the Queenstown gardens?

But, what's frisbee golf you may ask? It's exactly that. The game has similar rules and objectives as golf, yet is played with frisbees.

This is one of the best free things to do in Queenstown if you have your own frisbee. Otherwise, you can rent them from most sports and outdoor stores in Queenstown.

16. Swim in Lake Wakatipu

Queenstown's resident lake is one of the most picturesque in New Zealand and also makes for a great place to cool off in the summer months!

However, this is a mountain lake, so prepare to get a little chilly!

17. Take in the Lakeside Sunset Views

Not looking to leave town and want a great sunset spot? Why not head down to the lakeside boardwalk to unwind with a stunning Queenstown sunset?

The boardwalk and lakeside area usually attracts dozens of groups, so it's also a great place to meet other travelers.

18. Hike at Bob's Cove

The Bob's Cove track is one of the best bang-for-buck hikes in Queenstown in terms of views! What I mean by this is that after just a very short yet scenic walk around the edge of Bob's Cove and a small hill climb, you will be rewarded with one of the best coastal views near Queenstown!

Even if you're not into hiking, I highly recommend visiting Bob's Cove if you're wondering what to do in Queenstown.

19. Head to Moke Lake

Moke Lake is a more off-the-beaten-path mountain lake hiking and camping area just a stone-throw away from Queenstown.

Of course, you'll need your own transport to drive the short, 20-minute road to Moke Lake. If you are exploring New Zealand in a non-self-contained camper, then visiting Moke Lake is also one of the best and most affordable places to spend the night!

20. Drive the Scenic Road to Glenorchy

The Glenorchy-Queenstown Road has to be one of the world's most scenic drives! Following the edge of Lake Wakatipu, the road winds gently through the mountain ranges with mind-blowing views of snow-capped peaks and distant glaciers along every turn.

There are also several pull-over areas on the side of the road where you can stop and snap some shots or simply admire the view!

QUEENSTOWN TO GLENORCHY DRIVE

21. Hike the Routeburn Track

The Routeburn Track is one of New Zealand's Great Walks. In my opinion, it's also probably the best of all the Great Walks in New Zealand, and that's saying something!

Although the Routeburn departs from nearby Glenorchy, many hikers depart early from their base in Queenstown to hike a section of it on a day trip or the whole thing!

Lake Harris Routeburn Day Hike

22. The Earnslaw Burn Hike

Hobbit fans rejoice! The Earnslaw Burn hike follows the path of Bilbo and his companions as they march on their quest through Middle Earth.

Even if you're not a Tolkien fan, the Earnslaw Burn hike is still one of the best hikes in New Zealand and certainly one of the best things to do near Queenstown. The track dips and climbs through dense beech forest before opening up into a spectacular glacial burn with a track that leads all the way to the Earnslaw glacier.

Similarly to the Routeburn, this hike departs from neighbouring Glenorchy, but can easily be reached from Queenstown following a quick drive on the scenic lakeside road.

23. Lord of the Rings Tour

Did you know that both the North and South Island of New Zealand was the location of all Lord of the Rings filming sets? Of course you do!

There are hundreds of different locations that you can discover that were featured in the epic trilogy. There is a very popular LOTR Tour that you can book online, covering most of the iconic destinations in this southern region near Queenstown.

24. Stand-Up Paddleboarding and Kayaking on Lake Wakatipu

Especially popular in summer, renting a kayak or SUP on Queenstown's Lake Wakatipu is one of the best things to do in Queenstown.

Make sure to pick a calm day, because strong winds are common in Queenstown, especially in the afternoons!

QUEENSTOWN LAKE WAKATIPU

25. Drive to the Remarkables Ski Area

The Remarkables mountain range is one truly worthy of the name. The constant Queenstown backdrop also features a great ski area that is very popular during the winter months.

Even if you're visiting outside of pow season, driving up the access road to the Remarkables Ski area is still a worthwhile trip. You will have to pay $10 during summer, but don't worry the views are definitely worth it!

SHOTOVER AND SADDLE VIEWPOINT AT LAKE ALTA

26. The Lake Alta Hike

While the Remarkables Ski Field probably deserves its own spot on the list of the best Queenstown attractions, there's a secret lake hike worth checking out year-round! Located right beside the Remarkables Ski Field, this is a short track to one of Queenstown's most scenic alpine lakes; Lake Alta.

To access this hike, you will need to take the ski field access road mentioned above. There is a sign once you arrive at the parking lot which leads the way.

I also found a little-known track that climbs the saddle to a spectacular viewpoint of the Lake and of Shotover country below. If views are your goal, then the Lake Alta hike is one of the best things to do in Queenstown!

27. Visit Coronet Peak

On the other side of Shotover country is another of Queenstown's popular ski fields. Similarly to the Remarkables ski area, there is a well-maintained, yet steep access road to the top.

28. Skydiving

Having adrenaline withdrawals? Skydiving in Queenstown is arguably the most beautiful place to do so in the entire world!

With a huge skydiving scene, there is also loads of competition, meaning that prices are actually pretty reasonable.

29. Paragliding

For those not ready to jump out of a plane, how about launching off a mountain?

If you've already arrived in Queenstown, then you probably would have already noticed the hundreds of paragliders and hang-gliders that dot the skies above Queenstown. That's because paragliding is one of Queenstown's most popular adventure activities.

Though you don't need to be a pro to partake in the fun. There are many sports and adventure stores in Queenstown that can hook you up with a tandem, or you could compare prices and book online.

30. Drive to Arrowtown

Arrowtown is a small, historic mining town that is located only a short distance from Queenstown.

The town itself is very small, consisting only of the main road and a few tourist shops. Still, if you're interested in the mining history of New Zealand, or you want to see its quaint and picturesque buildings and mountain backdrops, then add Arrowtown to your Queenstown itinerary!

31. Hike or Unwind by the Arrow River

Arrowtown is also a mini-hub of short hikes and river walks. Located just near the main Arrowtown visitor's car park is a hiking area that is very popular with day-trippers from Queenstown.

For those visiting Arrowtown, make sure to stop by the Arrow river for lunch or for a quick swim!

32. Stick a Thumb Out

I know, this is a little bit of a random one. However, Queenstown is known as one of the easiest places in the world to hitchhike!

The combination of a large backpacking community and the warm, welcoming Kiwi spirit has created a scene where hitchhiking has become a regular form of transport for many travelers and locals.

So, if hitchhiking is on the bucket list, or if you're looking to save money on transport to any of the Queenstown attractions on this list of best things to do in Queenstown, then go ahead and give it a go!

33. Visit the Kawarau Gorge

While most people visit the Kawarau Gorge from Queenstown for the famous Bungy bridge, I think that it's a worthwhile destination in itself!

With pristine aqua waters and jagged canyons, the Kawarau River is begging to be explored. I'd recommend stopping by Roaring Meg for some of the best photo opportunities of the gorge.

34. Eat a Fergburger

No, this isn't a food blog, but eating at Fergburger is so iconic that this burger joint seems to make its way onto every list of Queenstown attractions!

Yes, the burgers really are that good, especially after a long day of hiking and exploring. Now that I've mentioned it, you'll likely see those paper-bag-wrapped wonders in the hands of every second person on the Queenstown boardwalk!

Fergburger even caters for vegans and vegetarians, so nobody has to miss out.

35. Devil's Staircase Lookout

While the Glenorchy to Queenstown road certainly gets more attention, on the other side of the elbow is yet another incredible lakeside drive.

The Devil's Staircase lookout is located on the road between Queenstown and Kingston and is a popular stop for those driving south to the Fjordlands.

36. Hit the Road!

Put simply, with so many epic things to do in Queenstown, you just won't run out of things to do or see.

However, Queenstown is just the start! The South Island of New Zealand is one of the most adventure-packed and wild places on earth, so it'd be a shame to miss it.

Some of the best adventures and memories are made on spontaneous trips! If you haven't yet, get your set of wheels and just drive, the roads surrounding Queenstown are so picturesque that they deserve a spot on the list!

DRIVING ON THE ROAD NEAR QUEENSTOWN

37. Visit Wanaka

The adventures certainly don't end at Queenstown! Known colloquially as Queenstown's tamer little brother, Wanaka is another hotspot for great hikes and activities.

Located only an hour from Queenstown, many travelers only stop by for a day trip. However, if you want to check out some of the must-do's, including climbing Roy's Peak or the majestic Blue Pools, then it's worth stopping for at least a few days.
