5 Things To Do In Queenstown
Queenstown = Extreme Sports. No matter what the weather is like, it may be snowing or the sun may be shining, Queenstown offers visitors all year round extreme fun.

1. Winter Wonderland – visit Queenstown in winter and enjoy the snow filled activities as Queenstown offers a number of excellent snow fields to play, ski, or relax.

2. Bungee Jumping is a popular attraction and AJ Hackett brought the extreme sport to Queenstown in the 1980’s. Since then there are more extreme places to Bungee in Queenstown but the original AJ Hackett Kawarau Bridge Bungy will always be the favourite.

3. Attention Swingers? Along with Bungee, Swinging is also a popular past time in Queenstown. Choose the position to swing and who you want to swing with. Ever dreamt about flying through the air, then try swinging in Queenstown. One of the world’s biggest swings is also located here.

4. Sky Dive Queenstown – Capture spectacular views of Queenstown from the sky. Dive from a plane with an expert attached to your back and if you can stop yourself from screaming and open your eyes long enough, you will see Queenstown from an extreme angle.

5. If the adrenalin rush is too much, companies in Queenstown also offer fantastic tours of the local area for the more laid back visitor. There is something for everyone, from bus tours, guided walks, and jet boat tours. The locals to Queenstown pride themselves on providing tourists with wonderful memories.

Queenstown

AAAGGGGGGggggggghhhhhhhhhh

I couldn’t finish New Zealand without a story about the national “pastime” Bungy Jumping (of course I mean this with tongue firmly planted in cheek as everyone knows New Zealand is beating Australia in the Rugby Union)
David Attenborough brought footage back from the Pentecost Island of the Land Divers back in the 1950’s. It was decided that this looked like fun (obviously) but having an elastic band or “Bungy” attached would make it extreme. The man responsible for people jumping of perfectly good bridges is Kiwi AJ Hackett who set up the first commercial "Bungy" in Christchurch in 1986. From there he has created an international empire. Hackett has "Bungied" from so many structures including a famous leap from the Eiffel Tower and hold the record for longest "Bungy" with 700m drop.

Head to the Kawarau Bridge in Christchurch and give it a try for yourself.
