Get to know Queenstown with Viator

Set on the shores of glacial Lake Wakatipu and surrounded by the Southern Alps, Queenstown offers beauty from many angles. The so-called adventure capital of New Zealand gets its name from the bevy of year-round activities available, both on the mountains and the water. But it's not just skiing and white-water rafting. With an exciting culinary scene and upmarket boutiques and galleries, Queenstown offers more gentle pursuits, too.
