Arguably the "Adventure Capital of the World" and certainly The Adventure Capital of New Zealand, Queenstown's four distinctive seasons have something for everyone.

From long summer twilights (December-March), brilliant autumn colours (April-May), to skiing and snowboarding in winter and early spring (June-September).

Long summer days blonde the tussocks, throwing the hills open to mountain bikers and hikers.

The brilliant reds and golds of autumn colour the trees, inspiring photographers and golfers alike.

In winter, snow transforms the region into a remarkable alpine playground for skiers and snowboarders.

Spring brings the spark of fresh green to the landscape – a time to celebrate life with a cruise on the lake and a sing-a-long on board the historic TSS Earnslaw Paddle Steamer....

....Or perhaps an invigorating bungy jump....

At any time of the year Jet Boating up the narrow, shallow canyon rivers is a thrill for all ages.

Those with even more 'verve' will enjoy white water rafting on category 2 to 5 rapids.

If you can't take a tandom skydive over the worlds' best scenery, then at least take the Gondola to to top of Bob's Peak!
