Enjoy the scenery of Queenstown while riding the cable car. The cable car ride gives you a panoramic view of the entire Queenstown landscape. Up to the observation deck above the scenery is even more stunning: including the town, the entire lake plus the nearby peaks are very stunning.

Definitely worth it! Very informative farm tour and we get to feed them too. Wish there was more time to walk around and take photos. It did felt a bit rush, but overall it was a fun experience

Skydiving was a great experience, but the reception from this company was terrible. You weren't allowed to bring your own GoPro, and if you wanted to film, you had to pay NZD 209 for them to take the video. We called a day before to ask if we could drive to the event, but customer service said no. We had no choice but to park in the city center (for a fee) and meet at the office. While we were waiting, we heard customer service tell another customer that we could drive. We asked why they had said no the previous call, but they didn't respond. The Asian female driver, a minibus driver, took us to the event location. When we got out of the car, she had a sour face and spoke a few quick, quiet instructions (I'm Asian and had studied in the UK before, so I couldn't hear clearly). We were completely disappointed with this company's customer service, their money-grabbing, and their misleading experience.

Presenting information on the booking to the counter was easily verified for redemption. The shotover jet ride at Arthur's point is one of best among others at Queenstown. The jet boat gets close to the rocks of the canyon for a thrilling experience.

The Oamaru Blue Penguin Colony is a delightful destination for wildlife enthusiasts, offering the chance to observe the world’s smallest penguins in their natural habitat. Located in Oamaru, New Zealand, the colony is dedicated to the conservation of these adorable creatures.Visitors can enjoy an evening viewing experience as the penguins return from the sea at dusk. The sight of them waddling up the beach and into their burrows is truly charming.

Stepping into the Angsen Wooden Barrel Hot Spring area is like entering a tranquil paradise for health preservation. The wooden barrels are scattered in an orderly manner, exuding a faint wood fragrance. Slowly stepping into the wooden barrel, the warm spring water instantly wraps your whole body, as if being embraced by gentle arms. The hot spring water slides over the skin, and the day's fatigue gradually dissipates. The surroundings are filled with tranquility, with only the occasional sound of gurgling water, which calms the soul. Close your eyes and enjoy this unique warmth and comfort, as if all your worries are taken away by the steaming water vapor, and your body and mind are relaxed and relieved like never before.

Spent about 2-3 hours here. Not so crowded. Kiwi can only see during the kiwi encounter session. Kiwi house 2 don’t have any? Super near the gondola area and could be packed together with the gondola. Great place if you loved birds. Have an informative bird encounter show.

Wanaka Lake is the fourth largest lake in New Zealand. It is the location of the popular tourist attraction, a lonely tree, about 70km northwest of the destination, Queenstown. The tree in my mind should look like Figure 5, but in the season without rain, "loneliness" can be so close to us [snickering]. It was dusk when we arrived in Queenstown. ​

Very beautiful castle, the interior is super beautiful! ! The environment is also very quiet. Although I came in winter and didn't see lush greenery or beautiful flowers, there is still a kind of desolate beauty.
