Step out the door at 15,000ft (strapped to a qualified jump master) and plummet towards the ground, tandem paraglide from Coronet Peak or swoop and soar in your own controllable “rocket”. The list is endless.
For those after a more relaxing getaway, take a spectacular cruise on Lake Wakatipu, join a wine trail and sample some of the areas world class wines, book a scenic flight over towering mountains and crystal clear lakes or tramp one of the many spectacular tracks in the region.
