| Queenstown Travel Guide for backpackers |
| If your heart is brave and your spirit free then Queenstown is the place for you. It is without doubt the prime spot for adrenalin junkies with every kind of adventure sport available. It is also set in one of the most beautiful parts of New Zealand and if the bungee jumping or whitewater rafting doesn't thrill you then the scenery certainly will. |
