This small, compact town of 14, 500 inhabitants was initially known as “The Camp”, but its name was later changed in honour of Queen Victoria.

Until recently Queenstown was noted exclusively for its wonderful hiking possibilities and the ski pistes at Coronet Peak and The Remarkables. However, from the 1970s Queenstown has developed a true vocation for adventure and extreme sports. Today it is possible to participate in a wide variety of activities including, tandem parachuting, canyoning, paragliding, bungee jumping, sledging, body boarding, not to mention the numerous water sports such as rafting and canoeing, which take place on the lake and the rivers Dart, Shotover and Kawarau. Bungee jumping is a favourite pastime for advenutre sports enthusiasts and there are numerous options around Queenstown to partake in this activity. One of the preferred destinations is the 43metre- high Kawarau Suspension Bridge, situated 23 km from Queenstown, but probably the most spectacular destination is the 134m Nevis Highwire Platform, located 45 mins from Queenstown. The various rivers in the area, in particular the Kawarau and the Shotover, offer numerous possibilities to practise rafting. There are various grades of difficulty and to run certain stretches of the river, the minimum age is 12 or 13. The Queenstown Travel and Visitor Centre and the DOC, in Shotover Street, provide information and a booking service for the area’s activities. The centre of Queenstown, just a little larger than 1km2, is very easy to visit on foot. In order to travel further a field, it is possible to use the highly efficient local public transport service. The Shopper Bus provides a service from 6:30am to 11pm and calls at the main hotels, the airport, Sunshine Fernhill, Frankton, Remarkables Park Shopping Centre and Downtown Queenstown.
