The Air Up Here is Genuinely Special
Queenstown from the ground is great. Queenstown from the air is something else. The sheer density of mountains, lakes, and wild terrain packed into this region means a scenic flight here covers more jaw-dropping ground per minute than almost anywhere in NZ. Milford Sound, Mt Aspiring, the Remarkables - you can tick all of it in a single flight, and the pilots who operate out of here have been doing it long enough to know exactly where to take you. Use promo code RANKERS to save 10% on scenic helicopter flights out of Queenstown, which takes a little sting out of what is admittedly a pricey category of activity.
Promo code RANKERS - good deal done!
If You're Going to Jump Out of a Plane, This is the Place
Skydiving over Queenstown has become almost a rite of passage and honestly the setting justifies the hype - freefall with Lake Wakatipu below you and snow-capped ranges in every direction is genuinely hard to beat. Promo code RANKERS gets you 10% off which is a solid saving on tandem skydives. If full freefall feels like a stretch, tandem hang gliding or paragliding off Coronet Peak is a softer intro to the whole "being in the air with nothing solid under you" experience - the pilots are good and you can request a bit of acrobatics if you're feeling bold. Code RANKERS works here too.
