Adventure Take in some thrill a minute canyoning. Abseil down rocky crevasses. Hang on to your hats as you jetboat the braided waters of the Dart River before changing pace for a gentle paddle through leafy caverns. Enjoy the sights from thousands of feet in a small plane or leap out with a tandem skydiver. Closer to the ground you can parapente or hanglide from many of the local hilltops or go full-on with a bungy jump from a gondola strung 134 metres above a narrow canyon.
Events Hoe down at harvest time.
April's Arrowtown Autumn Festival is a great way to step back in time and celebrate the heritage of this goldmining town. Motor racing enthusiasts shouldn't miss the Queenstown Goldrush International Race to Sky which happens each Easter.
