Looking for the perfect mix of thrill and chill with your girls?

In just one weekend, this girls trip to Queenstown had it all. From heart-racing freefalls over the Shotover River and high-speed jet boat rides, to wine tasting in NZ’s largest wine cave and a surprisingly lovable 18km e-bike adventure.

Queenstown has been dubbed the ''Adventure Capital of the World'', and for good reason! Whether you’re craving adrenaline, scenic serenity, or just good wine and better company, this trip proves you can have it all in 48 hours.

It is an absolute hub of outdoor activities, endless dining opportunities & street performers. The streets are bustling and the coffee is GOOD. The town itself is full of stylish boutiques, cozy cafés, and buzzing cocktail bars. It's ideal for exploring with your besties. Splash out on a fancy dinner at a lakeside restaurant like Botswana Butchery or Rātā, and toast to friendship with local pinot noir.

Queenstown offers a magical mix of opportunities, making it a dream destination for a girls’ trip.

If you're visiting in winter, don’t miss the chance to hit the slopes at Coronet Peak or The Remarkables. Both are perfect for beginners and seasoned skiers. After a day on the snow, unwind with après-ski drinks by a roaring fire or explore Queenstown’s vibrant nightlife, with chic bars like Little Blackwood or cocktail lounges tucked into alpine-style settings.

In warmer months, opt for a lake cruise or a paddleboarding session on the crystal-clear water. No matter the season, Queenstown delivers unforgettable moments and Instagram-worthy backdrops. It’s more than a trip—it’s a chance to reconnect, recharge, and celebrate the joy of friendship.
