Queenstown is the New Zealand destination for international visitors. Its natural beauty changes with the seasons, the lake gleans in the summer sun, and snow clad mountains tower above the township in winter. Queenstown is a great place to visit all year round. Nestled in beside the mysterious Lake Wakatipu, in the Southern Lakes district of New Zealand, Queenstown is a cosmopolitan haven, offering a limitless adventure, southern wine and cuisine, and breathtaking alpine scenery.

Queenstown hosts an array of activities that caters to both leisure and adventure seekers. Attractions range from Bungy Jump to White Water Rafting, Jetboats, Hollyford Track, excursions to Milford Sound and Doubtful Sound as well as Skippers Canyon. All Queenstown attractions showcase this breathtaking area and make every visit a journey to remember.

The majority of international visitors stay two to three days in Queenstown and enjoy multiple attractions. On top of their attractions list are Jetboat Rides and a visit to either Milford Sound or Doubtful Sound. While visiting Milford Sound is a full day trip, most Jetboat Rides last between 30 minutes and 2 hours. Those shorter attractions leave time for other, moderately thrilling sightseeing tours like a visit to unforgettable Skippers Canyon.

Like the Grand Canyon was formed by the Colorado River, Skippers Canyon was created by the Shotover River. The Grand Canyon is without a doubt a spectacular sight and seemingly endlessly big. While Skippers Canyon doesn't lack viewy areas it is smaller and in comfortable reach. Half day sightseeing tours into Skippers Canyon make this excursion one of the most liked Queenstown attractions that you should not miss.

If you connect New Zealand with delicious wines then you should consider tasting some from Gibbston Valley. Even though the most famous areas in New Zealand to taste wines are Marlborough and Hawke's Bay, Pinot Noirs and Sauvignon Blancs from Queenstown area are certainly worth a try.

On our unforgettable Skippers Canyon tour, you will be offered a glass of Sauvignon Blanc produced by The Winehouse & Kitchen Winery, located in Gibbston Valley. If this small wine tasting during our most popular Queenstown attraction suffices your requirements, we are more than happy to accommodate you. You can however choose to be taken into breathtaking Skippers Canyon and combine this sightseeing tour with three wine tastings in boutique vineyards to create a full day experience. Our Canyon and Wine Tour is the only attraction of its kind in Queenstown that offers this unique combination.
