What's New in Queenstown

Queenstown keeps adding new ways to see the same spectacular scenery, and this collection tracks the latest additions across the region. Fresh adventure options continue to appear around Lake Wakatipu and the Remarkables, from new takes on jet boating and skydiving to indoor alternatives for wet weather days. Scenic flights and helicopter routes are regularly updated to reach further into Fiordland and the Southern Alps, giving repeat visitors a different angle on Milford Sound and Mount Aspiring each season.

On the water, lake cruises and wine touring through the Gibbston Valley continue to expand, alongside new day trip combinations linking Queenstown with Glenorchy, Arrowtown and Wanaka. Winter brings its own wave of new ski and snow packages across the surrounding mountains, while warmer months add fresh walking, biking and wilderness experiences around the Wakatipu Basin. Whether it is a first visit or a return trip, there is usually something newly added to the Queenstown lineup worth building an itinerary around.
