Top 8 Ski & Snow Tours in Queenstown, South Island

September 11, 2021 Concepcion Newsome

Staggering beauty and heart-pumping thrills await in the resort town of Queenstown, which is also known for its Hobbits—much of the Lord of the Rings trilogy was filmed in the area. Outdoor enthusiasts flock to Queenstown for the kayaking, bungee jumping, jetboating, white-water rafting, hiking and skiing. More mild-mannered adventurers can take a quiet cruise through nearby Milford Sound, part of the Fjordland National Park World Heritage area, or sample South Island pinot noir from one of the region's 75 wineries.

3 pairs of boots and 2 kids snow suits cost $70 for the days hire. Was well worth it as it kept the boys warm which made for a nicer snow/mountain visit. Great patient staff who bent over backwards to help.

As non skiers we were keen to experience the snow and found this trip online. It was the ultimate thrill and a big highlight of our three week trip around the South Island. Absolutely stunning scenery, fantastic staff, easy to use machines (even for us in our sixties) and just an incredible thrill from start to finish. Absolutely loved it.

This ensures a safer, more enjoyable experience on the mountain as setup is personalised to you and based on a combination of factors.
