Queenstown Tour, New Zealand

2008.01.15
The first people to discover Queenstown's rare beauty were Maori pounamu (jade) hunters. Then came the gold miners, in search of another kind of treasure.

Today Queenstown is treasured for its magnificent scenery, adventure opportunities and luxury lifestyle.

Queenstown is not just about bungy jumping, there are more for you to discover.

Lake Wakatipu is the third largest lake in New Zealand.

Lake Wakatipu has a 'tide' (an unusually large "standing wave"), which causes the water to rise and fall about 10 centimetres every 25 minutes or so.

Kawarau Bridge Bungy is home to the world's first modern bungy jump from 43m above the Kawarau River in Queenstown.

you can choose from topple over backwards, forwards, with another person, spin or somersault.

you can choose to bob above the water, touch it, or be fully immerse.

The most challenge part of bungy jump is to step out your comfort zone and throw yourself into air...with screaming...AAAAAAAAAAAH

The thrilling bungy jump ends up with landing into a floating raft.

You get a different view of Queenstown while kayaking in Kawarau River.
