• Bungy Jumping - If you are a couple that wants to share some excitement.... bungy jumping,jet boating white water rafting, heli skiing or the new Ziplock Flying Fox will all appeal.
• 4WD - For something a little different and special to the area the 4 WD tours through the back country and old gold mining fields are great fun and very scenic.
• Wine Tasting Tours ................. and I suggest you do do a tour rather than self drive....so you are free to enjoy the wines... are always popular. Queenstown area has some wonderful award winning wineries...each with its own style both in the winery and their wines.
• Arrowton - Wandering the streets of Arrowtown...a nearby romantic historic town will be especially beautiful in autumn when the trees have turned to gold.
• Golf - Are you golfing fans? You may find Millbrook Estate with its world class golf course is just the spot for your honeymoon destination. Beautifully appointed cottages are dotted around the stunning grounds.

As you tour Queenstown and the surrounding areas you will see many landscapes that feature in this Trilogy... all in their natural reality. Many people are surprised to find they are real!
• Milford Sound - You will definitely want to take a day trip to Milford Sound. A finalist in the 7 wonders of the world this is one of the world's amazing sites, with magnificent mountains rising above fiords and waterfalls cascading down the sheer cliffs. The boat trip on Milford Sound is truly spectacular.
• Doubtful Sound/Dusky Sound - If you have time I can recommend the tour to Dusky Sound and Doubtful Sound including the Manapouri Underground power station. Not only are you treated to spectacular scenery, but you will see bottlenosed dolphins, sealions and other marine life in their natural habitats.
• Skippers Canyon - For a bit of excitement the trip along Skippers Canyon is a never to be forgotten experience. This narrow road takes you into the Canyon and brings the goldrush of the 1800’s alive. You may get to try your hand at gold panning...depending on the tour you choose.
• Walter Peak Station - Taking the historic TSS Earnslaw steam boat across Lake Wakatipu to Walter Peak Station is another special attraction. This is still a working sheep station and a fascinating look at life on a remote hill country farm. You can do a farm tour, go on a horse riding trek, enjoy a BBQ lunch or dine in the colonial farmstead at night....that sounds very romantic!
