I arrived in Queenstown around 5.30pm and as soon as I stepped off the bus I could feel it had a fantastic atmosphere.
It's a reasonably small town in a beautiful setting. On the edge of Lake Wakatipu, with the Remarkables in the background, it plays host to a huge number of travellers, most of them coming to experience some of the serious adrenaline rushes from the numerous adventure activities on offer.
With so many activities and combos on offer I was a little overwhelmed, so decided just to take the following day easy and booked to go to the Deer Park. You can experience some great views of the town and surroundings, see a variety of animals and take in a few spots used in the filming of The Lord of the Rings.
