When it comes to an exciting vacation, there is no place like Queenstown, New Zealand. This may be a small location in stature, but don't let that fool you. It delivers large amounts of extreme adventure and features many hotels. The views from outside your accommodation can't be beat. One of the first things you will come across and want to experience is Lake Wakatipu.

You can experience this treasure from aboard the near 90 year old steamship Earnslaw, or set off on your own sailing or kayaking trip. You will probably have amazing views from right outside your hotel, but for the ultimate viewing experience you want to trek up the hillside. There are helicopter rides you can enjoy (or shriek in fear), and even sky diving and bungy jumping.
