Places most visitors miss, many of them free.
Moke Lake
A serene, loop-shaped lake nestled in a glacial valley, just a 20-minute drive from Queenstown.
The Queenstown Gardens
A beautiful, free public park on a peninsula jutting into Lake Wakatipu, right next to the town centre.
Bunker Bar
A tiny, speakeasy-style cocktail bar hidden down an alleyway off Cow Lane in the town centre.
Lake Hayes
The 8km walking track around the lake is flat, easy, and incredibly scenic, especially at sunrise or sunset. It's a favorite with locals but often missed by tourists rushing to Arrowtown.
The Chasm Walk
A short, easy walk on the road to Milford Sound, just before the Homer Tunnel.
Day trips from Queenstown
Milford Sound / Piopiotahi
4-5 hours by coach or car (one way), 1.5 hours by scenic flight
Journey into the heart of Fiordland National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, to witness one of New Zealand's most iconic landscapes. This breathtaking fjord is dominated by Mitre Peak, with waterfalls cascading down sheer cliffs into dark waters.
Glenorchy & Paradise
45 minutes by car
Follow the stunning western shore of Lake Wakatipu to the small settlement of Glenorchy, the gateway to multiple Lord of the Rings filming locations and the rugged Dart River valley. The road to 'Paradise' offers quintessential New Zealand high-country scenery.
Wanaka
1 hour by car
Visit Queenstown's slightly quieter, equally beautiful neighbor. Wanaka sits on the shores of its own stunning lake, with the famous #ThatWanakaTree, excellent hiking in Mount Aspiring National Park, and a relaxed, creative town vibe.
