Queenstown is basically one big playground for adults - there so many crazy things to do there! (And there's sedate stuff as well, of course, if that's what you want.) It's like someone's taken the vibrant centre of a city and transplanted it in the middle of beautiful wilderness... the best of both worlds! You just can't help but have fun in Queenstown ;)
