9. Play a Round of Golf
If hitting the links appeals to you more than jumping off a cliff, the Queenstown Golf Club is open to visitors. Set on a peninsula overlooking the city, surrounded by those remarkable mountains and embraced by that crystalline lake, it is one of the world’s most jaw-dropping settings to play a round. You could be forgiven for not keeping your eye on the ball. There are 5 other golf courses in the Queenstown area, including Millbrook and The Hills.
10. Enjoy the Nightlife
Queenstown is as known for its nightlife as it is its adventurous thrills. All that surging adrenalin makes people more social and less inhibited. You can always open with a “have you bungied yet?” and you’ll no doubt start a conversation with just about anyone. There are cozy wine bars, friendly pubs, crowded bars and packed night clubs to appeal to any mood. Many venues cater to the backpacker scene, but you can avoid that too, if you’d prefer. Some of the popular hang-outs are Dux de Lux, Sky Bar, Surreal, Subculture, the Buffalo Club and the Pub on Wharf.
