Queenstown Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

We had an amazing flight with Daniel today! He was friendly, professional and made us feel very safe and comfortable throughout the whole journey. He also pointed out the different landmarks along the way and shared some interesting information, which made the incredible views even more enjoyable. The flight was smooth and the scenery was absolutely breathtaking. Daniel was a fantastic pilot and made this one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommend Daniel and True South Flights!

We had an absolutely incredible experience on our Milford Sound tour, and Luke was an amazing pilot and guide! The views were breathtaking from start to finish, and seeing Milford Sound from the air was truly unforgettable. Luke was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and made us feel safe and comfortable throughout the entire flight.He pointed out different landmarks and made the experience even more special with his knowledge of the area. The scenery was beyond anything we could have imagined, and getting to see the mountains, waterfalls, and Milford Sound from above was definitely a highlight of our trip to New Zealand.I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Queenstown — and if you get Luke as your pilot, you’re in great hands! Such a memorable experience!

Great experience from start to finish, When Tyler the captain arrived we thought he looked way to young to captain a boat, he did a great job, was very informative and took great care of us. Well worth it.

Traveling on the Earnshaw Steam Sip is such a great experience. And then the food, just amazing and the farm so beautiful. Something you just must do when in Queenstown.

“Absolute peak”, is how my 20 year old son described it and I have to agree.While the BBQ lunch at Walter Farm was the jewel in the crown, the entire experience was great; price, booking experience, boat ride, tour, farm show and gift shop… Highly recommend!

This is my second time at Shotover and I wasn't disappointed at all!!! Absolutely loved it and my daughter and her partner loved it too. It is well worth the money for such a thrilling experience. The driver was great, I can't believe they get paid to do this!! Wow what a job!! Deb Qld Australia

Shanay! Superstar guide! Trip was amazing! Favourite was Kinross winery but Gibson Valley Wine cave was awesome as well.Worth every Penny!

It was really fun! Would do it again definitely worth the money. It was a little cold the day we went but the heated handle bars definitely helped.

The experience was amazing! We love the park. It is very knowledgeable and we learn a lot about birds and how different species are taken cared of for their survival in the nature. We enjoyed looking at kiwis, different birds. Everything. The show was also must see. It helps us understand them.

Amazing experience, lovely tandem masters, very effectively run service. Felt very safe.

Fun day out, great farmers taking you through the farm, feeding goats…sheep..alpacas.. donkeys and highland cows, all topped off by a sheep herding show by a marvellous dog, great day out for the family, very well thought out by the operators. Thanks for having us

Great experience I’ve been skydiving 3 times this was definitely the best. It takes about 3 hours that’s very normal for a skydive. Views are amazing. Shuttle buses are a little inconvenient on timing dive to the facility if you are able to but if not the shuttle is perfect if you don’t have a car.

We had all had a brilliant time. Devon and Danique were great, they were very knowledgeable and kept us entertained the whole time.

From the beautiful steam boat ride, to the delicious high tea, feeding the animals, and the amazing dog and sheep show, this 3-hour experience was worth every penny! We made such beautiful and special memories as a family, and it’s honestly so hard to choose a highlight because every part of the experience was fantastic. The whole afternoon was so much fun, relaxing and memorable. A truly wonderful experience that we would highly recommend to anyone visiting! ❤️

Awesome day on the tour with Do at Altitude Tours. 10/10 customer service. I can’t thank you enough for a wonderful day touring and Do for being so informative and helpful at all four wineries. Lots of wines to try at each winery and lunch was absolutely delicious at Kinross winery. Shame the weather turned bad for the Aryburn visit which was stunning. Do’s driving skills were impeccable getting us to the front door with no trouble at all. Do thank you for a memorable day

We booked the 4 zipline experience and loved it. I was a bit nervous, but didn't need to be. The staff, Harry and Sammy, made me feel confident and safe. Once the first one was done, I rose to all of Harry's challenges including going upside down and backwards - yeehaa! This trip is suitable for all ages and the views from the last zipline are amazing. I would highly recommend this experience.
