New Zealand’s undisputed capital of extreme adventure sports is the hip and beautiful city of Queenstown. Located in the central Otago region on the South Island, this popular travel destination is doing its best to keep pace with the huge numbers of tourists who flock to this outdoor mecca all year round.

With its waterfront site overlooking Lake Wakatipu and the jagged snow-clad peaks of the Remarkables framing the background, there’s little mystery why Queenstown has jumped to the top of the list for hotspots in New Zealand.
