Queenstown · WINTER ACTIVITIES
6 tours
Good winter activities sell out between December and March, and the best go first. Here are the 6 to look at, with prices, durations and the weather caveats that matter on this side of the Alps.
Spend an hour inside Queenstown Ice Bar, enjoying an ice-glass drink and warm winter gear beside Skyline Gondola.
“Something you need to experience during your stay in Queenstown✨”
Take a Queenstown helicopter flight with an alpine snow landing, shut-down serenity, and serious photo ops above the town.
“Ben was a great pilot and guide! Terrific experience. Friendly, professional, top notch all around. It was truly over the top!”
Fly over Queenstown and the Whakatipu Basin, land in alpine snow for photos, and enjoy a smooth 30-minute winter helicopter flight.
“What a ride! The perfect snow landing experience anyone could hope for. Fresh dump of snow, beautiful weather, Magnificent views. James, the pilot, was wonderful. Giving us a spectacular ride. Great commentary during the trip with the occasional funny joke! Thanks man!! We literally felt “on top of the world!” A must ride for everyone!!”
Tandem winter paragliding from Coronet Peak in Queenstown at 5400 ft, small group, about 2 hours, big snow mountain views.
“Everything went like clockwork. My driver was super nice and my flight attendant was awesome It was an unforgettable experience.”
Coronet Peak snow play from Queenstown with round-trip shuttles, 1.5 hours in the snow, and easy sled and lift add-ons.
“The tour was good. Meeting point was incorrectly mentioned. Mentioned meeting point, No 43 Lichfield Street is far away from the real meeting point. Please correct the address of the meeting point.”
25-30 minutes by helicopter over Glenorchy, capped with a 10-minute snow landing and Lake Wakatipu photo stop.
