While Queenstown in New Zealand may be famous for its enchanting landscapes and laidback atmosphere, do not let this seemingly placid setting fool you; for it is here that you will also find a thrilling array of adventure activities that have led it becoming the adventure capital of the Southern Hemisphere. If you are looking for an ideal luxury hotel in New Zealand in the region from which to set off on your excursions, consider Anantara Vacation Club at Oaks Shores located by Lake Wakatipu. It is not only within easy reach of the Queenstown town centre, but areas such as The Remarkables, Arrowtown and Coronet Peak too.
The options for activities are seemingly endless in Queenstown; Lake Wakatipu is a great spot for a speedboat tour, kayaking excursions and fishing, while nature lovers can also take part in horse riding, biking and hiking, exploring magical landscapes, forests and mountains that have even been used as backdrops for films such as Lord of the Rings. For more adrenaline pumping action you can also feel the pure rush of experiencing the force of gravity firsthand as you plummet at exhilarating speeds when bungy jumping. Take to the skies on a paragliding excursion as you enjoy bird’s eye views of Mother Nature decked in all her finery, though for unforgettable aerial vistas, you can always try skydiving! Not to be forgotten are the many ski outings on offer in and around Queenstown with The Remarkables, Coronet Peak and Cardrona providing plenty of opportunities for skiing and snowboarding between June and October.
