The cruises are expensive but worth it. Plan for this to take a whole day, and do not let rain stop you! When it is raining, there are more waterfalls and it is quite stunning.

The Shotover Jet takes you inches from sheer canyon walls and slides you around the Shotover River in a fantastic and beautiful adrenalin rush. The best part, by far, is the 360 degree spins. I am not sure how this compares to other Queenstown jetboating companies (there are many) but I do know they’re the only ones with access to the Shotover Canyon, so that is probably an added dimension you don’t get with the others.

Not quite as good as Velvet Burger in Dunedin, but still delicious! The fries (yes, they are called fries on the menu) don’t include dip in the price, which I object to. You have to pay 50 cents for the tiniest bit of dip (garlic aioli, wasabi mayo, bbq sauce, tomato sauce, etc). That was probably the only thing I didn’t like. I’ve heard these are the best burgers in Queenstown.

I grew up here. It’s small, but a nice area.

This is an excellent dive coaster. I really loved that it paused you at the top.

The best log flume I’ve been on!

my grandmother has a vacation house here… it’s beautiful and quiet. I love it.

on the richest peninsula in the country, this little island is amazingly beautiful, friendly, and full of North Americans who have moved down to Costa Rica. So you can definitely find English-speaking people.

my friend Gabby’s family lives there and she says it beautiful

nice harbor, good restaurants and one of the only big towns on the Eastern Shore.
