I'll show you how I did seven really cool things in Queenstown, New Zealand in less than two days.
From a rollercoaster jet boat ride on the choppy waters of Lake Wakatipu and the shallow waters of the Shotover River to a nighttime cruise aboard a Titanic-era steamship bound for a spectacular seafood buffet and sheep shearing show at Walter Peak High Country Farm.
From an morning flight to Milford Sound for a ship’s eye view of the towering peaks, rainforests and waterfalls of one of the most beautiful places on earth, to an afternoon watching brave souls hurl themselves off a perfectly good suspension bridge.
From walking the streets and eating the eats in picture perfect Arrowtown to a nighttime lift on the Skyline gondola for a breathtaking sunset over Queenstown.
Plus, a late night stop at world famous Fergburger for a treat that can’t be beat in the adventure capital of the world.
It sounds like a lot for a day and a half, but it can easily be done, and I’ll show you how.
I hope this video helps as you plan your trip to Queenstown. If you like it, like my channel, / newsocracy too. There you’ll find similar videos focusing on Hawaii, French Polynesia, San Francisco, Mallorca, Cornwall, Brighton Beach, and London. Plus lots more New Zealand.
As always, thanks for watching. I’m Jim Albritton.
