Queenstown
Queenstown is the place to visit, if you like the outdoors, it never get boring to much to do, Bungy Jumping, Sky Diving, Skiing in the winter month, or Down hill MTB riding or enjoy one afternoon on the lake with a relaxing cruise to Walter Peak Station, every one can find his favorite sport or activity. Walter Peak station is the start point to cycle the back road to Te Anau, after the first 60 km are the Mavora Lakes, where you can camp over night the camp site by the 2nd lake is nicer than by the first lake. the following day there is a 80 km distance to Te Anau to cycle with is very easy to do.
Queenstown Moonlight Track
Wonderful day walk through the native mountains. The best way to get to the start point is you take the Connect bus from O’Connel Shopping Centre in Queenstown, and ask the bus driver if he can stop by the start point of the Moonlight Track. I cycled the track and hiked as well, rewarding scenery. At the end of the track is the Sky Line Restaurant. From there it is possible to take the Gondola back to Queenstown, or you can walk back on the one mile track.
Queenstown to Franz Josef
The best starting point for this trip is in Queenstown and you travel on the SH 6 to Wanaka, few miles before you get to the city of Wanaka is a main junction, and you should stay on the road to Wanaka, until the traffic sign West Cost. In the travel guide is the estimated travel time around 5.5h, add a few hours to the estimated time, it took us around 9h, for the distance, we took a lot of breaks to take photos. There is no rush to travel the scenery is changing all the time. As we arrived at Franz Josef we booked the Glacier walk with The Helicopter line New Zealand very good value for money, and a lot of cometry from start to finish.
Te Anau
Te Anau is the last village before Milford Sound, with shops, for the next 120 km until Milford Sound is no petrol available, make sure you fill up your car with petrol, in Milford is one petrol station but it could happen supply is running short or card terminal dos not work. In Te Anau is one booking office of Real Journeys directly beside the tourist office. And the second one is Southern Discoveries beside Moose Pub and bar.
