Exploring Queenstown’s Hidden Gems 

exploring queenstown

Known as the adventure capital of New Zealand, many tourists choose to travel to this iconic destination to take in the incredible surroundings and scenic views and, of course, get their adrenaline fix by going bungee jumping, snowboarding and more. 

There is a huge variety of group activities in Queenstown to choose from, making it the perfect location for unforgettable experiences around every corner. Before getting around to those bucket list activities, begin your journey within the town and explore some of the hidden gems on offer. 

Unique Group Activities in Queenstown 

  • Escape Rooms

Spend an afternoon working through clues and solving riddles before time runs out. Experience exhilarating attractions such as the escape rooms at Thrillzone Queenstown and get your group out of their comfort zone!

  • Paintball 

For the ultimate team building experience, opt for an exciting session at Queenstown Paintball. This activity is a great way to let loose and blow off some steam, but be aware it’s not one for the faint of heart.

  • Luge and Gondola 

Hop on Queenstown’s iconic Skyline gondola and enjoy a fast-paced, action-packed race down on the luge. A must-do activity with your friends or family, you can race each other on various tracks while taking in some of the most breathtaking views. 

These unique activities are great to get groups out and about, but there’s only one way to see Queenstown from all angles, and that’s with a captivating scenic flight experience with True South Flights.

Mt Cook Heliski

Perfect for small groups and snow enthusiasts, our popular Mt Cook Heli Ski tour is the best way to experience the Southern Alps. 

Departing from Queenstown at 8 a.m. for a fixed-wing scenic flight, you will be guaranteed a premium window seat where you can take in spectacular views along the way. Once we reach Mt Cook Airport, your group will be provided with snowboarding and skiing gear, along with a full safety briefing, before taking off in groups of four on another helicopter to one of New Zealand’s highest helicopter landing areas. Don’t forget to take pictures along the way; the views are absolutely incredible. 

Enjoy aerial vistas of snow-capped mountains and immerse yourself in nature. Your group will be provided with lunch in the snow, so there’s no need to worry about bringing food along on the trip. Strap on your skis and get ready to hit the slopes with up to five thrilling heli-ski runs to choose from. The terrain suits all levels of heli-boarders and heli-skiers, so it doesn’t matter whether you are a beginner or pro on the snow. With panoramic views on the way down the mountain, this activity is guaranteed to ensure an adventurous day for everyone.

After an action-packed day in the snow, spend the day exploring the stunning Milford Sound with our luxury Coach Cruise Fly experience. 

Completed with a luxury bus ride and fantastic flight back to Queenstown, the Pure Milford cruise is the perfect way to take in all that Milford Sound has to offer. The perfect option for a small group, our full-day package begins with a coach journey with views of Eglinton Valley along the way, a quick stop over in Te Anau township and views of Mirror Lakes. Your group will travel in comfort on our luxury coach as we journey through Fiordland National Park to Milford Sound. 

Once we arrive in the Milford Sound, board a catamaran boat for a leisurely 2-hour ride, taking in the natural beauty of the Sound. There are plenty of opportunities to snap up some pictures, and the boat is perfect for sightseeing. Milford Sound is a magical place with ancient towering granite cliffs, where you may even spot some of the local wildlife, including dolphins, seals, penguins, native birds and more. Included in this tour is a delicious picnic lunch, where you can enjoy the scenery and spend quality time with your friends and family. At the end of the day, you will be escorted back to Queenstown on a short flight through the glacier-carved valleys.
