One of New Zealand’s most popular cities and a favourite among New Zealand family holiday packages, Queenstown is located in the south-west of the country. The resort town is spread on the shores of Lake Wanaka surrounded by mountains such as The Remarkables, Cecil Peak, Queenstown Hill and Walter Peak. The region is particularly famous for adventure sports. Another fantastic draw of the nation is that as an Indian you can use your Indian driving license to drive across New Zealand.

Some of the coolest things to do in New Zealand are skiing and snowboarding, jet boating, white water rafting, bungy jumping, mountain biking, skateboarding, tramping, paragliding, sky diving and fly fishing; all of which can be done in and around Queenstown. Another popular activity found in most New Zealand tour guides is a vineyard tour. The South Island produces some of the finest wine in the world and many vineyards are open to tourists.
