Top Things to do In Queenstown 2022

"A half-day tour of the lake by steamboat + Walter Plateau Ranch tour is a beautiful experience that is fresh in the memory of the Queenstown trip. From Queenstown Port to the Ranch Wharf, the steamboat takes 45 minutes one-way, a total of 1.5 hours round-trip voyage, and boat viewing. One is to watch the ancient style of the ship. The steamship TSS Earnslaw, built in 1912, has been baptized by wind and waves for more than a hundred years. It has grown stronger and stronger over time. It is the only coal-fired steamship still in normal operation in the southern hemisphere. Wandering on the boat, looking at the handsome captain at the helm, watching the young fireman swinging a shovel to deliver coals, listening to the melodious music of the teacher's nai luthier, and tasting the authentic taste of coffee and desserts. It is leisurely and comfortable. The second is to appreciate the beautiful scenery of the lake. On the deck, in front of the portholes, and in the corridors, you can admire the scenery of Lake Wakatipu up close. The lake breeze is blowing, the waves are dancing happily, the scenery is charming and refreshing."

"Steamboat + Walter Plateau Ranch half-day tour is a classic trip to Queenstown. Walter Peak, located on the opposite bank of the lake southwest of Queenstown. Walter Plateau Ranch is located on the west side of the mountain. It is one of New Zealand's oldest plateau pastures, covering an area of 68,000 hectares in its heyday. After several changes, the existing area is 25,000 hectares, and more than 40,000 Merino sheep, Romney sheep and beef cattle are stocked. Since 1991, the owner of the ranch leased 162 hectares of land by the lake to a travel agency and started a "ranch tour" tourism project. Therefore, many tourists feel that "the plateau is not high and the pasture is not big" when visiting. The ranch tour is so beautiful and beautiful. The first is to observe "pastoralism". The "Sheep Shearing Show" is lively and interesting. With the help of the shepherd's fence and the assistance of the shepherd dogs, each of the furry sheep is already bald and cute. "Sheepdogs driving sheep" is vivid and intuitive, with a few shepherd dogs + a group of lambs, allowing visitors to feel every bit of shepherding. "Animal feeding", you can have close contact with alpacas, lambs, and calves, pat and pat ~ too late. The second is to observe the "scene". When you go to the ranch, take a 45-minute voyage by steamboat or a 30-minute voyage by speedboat. The beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains along the way is needless to say. After arriving at the ranch, the east side of the ranch dock is the tourist area, and the west side is the villa area. The "Colonel's House" built in 1902 is the most eye-catching. Because of the tight time, I gave up close contact with small animals and went to the villa area to find out. The white walls are reflected by the red roof, the greenery is lined with flowers, and the scenery is extremely beautiful. In the courtyard, in front of the porch, on the greenery, among the flowers, by the benches, by the lake and beach, you can stroll around and enjoy taking pictures. The third is to taste "food." During the ranch tour, you can choose to have afternoon tea or BBQ buffet. The variety of tea and meals is not rich, but the taste is authentic and delicious, coupled with the elegant environment and harmonious atmosphere, it is also a good experience."

"Return to Queenstown from the Milford Strait, passing the heliport, and stop on the southern glacier by helicopter. "Global warming, and the melting of glaciers in southern New Zealand, may not be seen again after many years!" The guide's introduction was very tempting. However, the price is really not cheap, equivalent to three thousand yuan per person. It can be seen from the Chinese on the billboard that this project is still quite popular with the Chinese."

"Not to be missed in the lakes and mountains of New Zealand!! Great lake just off Queenstown and many cruise companies run lake projects, buy online in advance for discounts, we also attended this one which offered lake meals, the staff prepared sandwiches, semi self-service, while eating sandwiches and drinking on the boat Appreciate the lake view. Because it is early spring, it is a little cold at the National Day, you need to wear a jacket when you are blowing on the lake. Generally 1.5 hours are turned over."

"Since the new crown has happened, long time has not left the country, plus Shanghai continuous rainy season, damp and gloomy weather, suddenly think of pure New Zealand, pure sky and air let people want to fly like a bird in the sky. The Vanaka Flight Camp was perfect for your wishes and we drove over the hills for hours. The small plane only accommodated four people and the handsome pilot would sit in the co-pilot guide as long as English was clear everything was fine and it was thrilling. So much so that Mr. I moved to get a flying license, and now I can only miss it..."

"This jump merges the drive of flesh and blood with the beautiful surrounding mountains and rivers. This is the charm of bungee jumping. At the same time, the platform jumps next to the cable car, and there are not a few people watching the excitement up and down!"

"How can New Zealanders who love thrills miss such a dangerous canyon?"

"New Zealand's temperate glaciers are rare in the world. In addition to the coldness, they also reveal a beauty. The perspective of helicopter sightseeing provides every tourist with a more comprehensive and overall view of the entire glacier group."
