Last May, my brother and I visited Queenstown. Queenstown is a town in South Island, New Zealand. It’s also known as the adrenaline capital of the world. Here you can both do extreme activities to relaxation. Check out my post on Tekapo and Wanaka.
Here are some things to do in Queenstown.
1.Hiking in Hooker Valley Track we checked out in early in our Tekapo hostel to visit the Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park. You do not want to miss this short hike! It’s breathtakingly beautiful!
2.Glenorchyon our first full day, we visited the charming small town of Glenorchy.
3.Brunch or shopping in Arrowtown another charming place! It’s a historic gold mining town. The whole scenery and atmosphere will take you back to the old days. It’s an amazing place filled with restaurants and local shops.
4.Pedro’s House of Lamb my brother found this place. If you are a big lamb meat lover, this place is perfect!
5.Patagonia Ice Cream great ice cream selection in the heart of the city.
6.Fergburger you can’t miss this while in Queenstown. Apparently it’s the best burger in the world. The place is always busy and packed. The burger was tasty, huge and affordable, but it wasn’t mind blowing.
7.Adventure Activities you’re in the adrenaline capital of the wold for a reason. The city centre is filled with endless activities including the famous bungy jump!
8.Day trip to Milford Sound I’m a little bit disappointed of this cruise.There’s nothing much other than the falls and fortunately the dolphins! I did Ha Long Bay in Vietnam and Milford Sound is nowhere close.
9. Skyline Queenstown the best time to do this is at night!
10. Queenstown Hill easy hike with a wonderful view of the lake and the city!

Mitre Peak and Milford Sound on a very rainy day. Still beautiful.
Seriously though, if I had to choose between Doubtful and Milford Sounds, I prefer Doubtful. Much more peaceful, and the overnight cruise was better than the Milford day cruise.

The classic Mitre Peak view of Milford Sound. I didn’t get too much of a view thanks to the rain, but it was still pretty epic.

Seriously, this is one of my better photographs of the dolphin pod. They don’t exactly stay still like landscapes…

The best part of my Milford Sound cruise? This pod of dolphins that followed us for a good 15 minutes. Unfortunately, I am not a very good dolphin photographer. :/
