Milford Sound Tours Just over 300 kilometres from Queenstown is Milford Sound is reachable as a return day trip by road or aircraft, with time for a short cruise on the Sound. Overnight cruises on Milford Sound are available. Lake Te Anau and Doubtful Sound also have many attractions, and the whole Fiordland area is well served by walking tracks.

Bay of Islands About 150 islands are scattered about the Bay of Islands, 250 kilometres north of Auckland. The first European settlements in New Zealand were established here in the early 19th Century, and the sense of the country’s early history is vivid, with many buildings in the towns of Kerikeri, Kawakawa, Paihia, and Russell dating from that time. Visitors are well catered for with a variety of launch and ferry services, as well as coach services to the more isolated countryside and glorious coastal scenery to the north and west.
Fox Glacier Walks Unique in the world, these West Coast glaciers ends in temperate rainforest, just 250 metres above sea level, and just a few kilometres from the coast. In this relatively mild climate, the Fox glacier is one of the most easily accessible glaciers in the world. There are more 3,000 metres peaks at the head of the Fox Glacier than in any other valley in New Zealand.

There are two ways to discover the Dart River Valley, each in the company of a skilled guide with a passion for the environment.
Shotover Jet Boat - Queenstown Experience the thrill of a Shotover Jet ride - the only company permitted to operate in the spectacular Shotover River Canyons, speeding past rocky outcrops with only inches to spare, twisting through narrow canyons and a major highlight - the famous ‘Shotover Jet’ turn, where your boat spins through a full 360 degrees in its own length.
