Adventure bound on New Zealand’s South Island

June 3, 2013 | By Collette Peck

As a travel destination, New Zealand has always been on my list. I was finally fortunate enough to get the opportunity to go there a couple of weeks ago!

Our group started in Queenstown on the South Island. This resort city set amongst the beautiful mountains and Lake Wakatipu is post card perfect. No wonder Peter Jackson filmed scenes from his Lord of the Rings series in this area.

Crowned the favorite adrenaline destination on the planet, Queenstown is the ideal place to complete your thrill-seeking ‘must do’ list. All four seasons have something to offer visitors: sailing, hiking, bungy jumping, skydiving, climbing, trail cycling, jet boat rides, zip lining or skiing!
