Your 7-Day Queenstown Plan

Seven days allows you to go deeper into Fiordland National Park, try multiple adventure activities, and slow down with a night in Wanaka for its more laid-back atmosphere compared to Queenstown.

Day 1
Queenstown Arrival and Gondola
Skyline Gondola for panoramic views. Queenstown waterfront walk. Dinner in town.
Day 2
Milford Sound Cruise
Full-day drive and cruise to Milford Sound through Fiordland. Homer Tunnel and Mirror Lakes on the way.
Day 3
Bungee Jumping at Kawarau
Kawarau Bridge Bungee (or Nevis for the ultimate 134m jump). Arrowtown historic village in the afternoon.
Day 4
Wanaka: Roy's Peak Hike
Roy's Peak 3-hour hike with iconic lake views. Lakeside lunch in Wanaka town.
Day 5
Gibbston Valley Wine Tasting
Cave cellar door tastings along the Valley of the Vines. Pinot Noir is the region's signature grape.
Day 6
Fiordland Hiking
A day in Fiordland National Park beyond Milford Sound — the Routeburn Track's first section (Routeburn Flats, 4 hours return) offers stunning mountain scenery without requiring multi-day booking. Alternatively, the Kepler Track day section near Te Anau.
Day 7
Jet Boating on Shotover River
The Shotover Jet is one of Queenstown's most popular experiences — 25 minutes of 85km/h jet boat travel through the narrow Shotover Canyon, including 360-degree spins. Book early morning to have the afternoon free for last shopping and farewell dinner at Botswana Butchery on the waterfront.
