Queenstown really has it all. You really can go jetboating down the Shotover River doing 80 km per hour, doing 360 spins next to rock faces in less than five inches of water! It's a thrilling ride at top speed! You'll be dressed in a life jacket and rain poncho, but bring a croakie for your glasses or they'll be lost forever!
Queenstown is really the home of bungee-jumping! Invented right here by New Zealander A.J. Hackett in 1988, bungee jumping is just another example of Kiwi ingenuity.
The beauty of New Zealand was captured on film when Peter Jackson shot the Lord of The Rings trilogy here. Several "Lord of the Rings Tours" take you to filming locations in a variety of vehicles -- from helicopters to off road jeepsl For a down-to-earth visit to "Middle Earth", Nomad Safaris has been conducting 4-Wheel Drive tours in the heart of the New Zealand High Country for over 15 years.
In Queenstown, you can do three or four adventures in a single day, not only making the most of your time, but your budget as well -- but you have to leave the planning to the pros!
