Hydro attack
One of Queenstown's most unique adrenaline rush activities is the Hydro Attack reaching speeds of 80kph on the water and 40kph diving under the water.
Hiking
Queenstown offers scenic walking tracks accommodating novice to advanced hikers. Our picks are Queenstown Hill or Bob's Peak, both offering stunning views with a roughly 3 hour return trip. Both trails begin just a short 10-15 minute walk from the town centre.
Road Cycling
Queenstown offers undulating hills for the road cyclists. Quality bikes and gear can be hired from Outside Sports located in the main town centre of Queenstown.
Disc/Frisbee Golf
Disc golf has been played in and around the Wakatipu for decades, most notably in the Queenstown Gardens established by Disc Golf Queenstown. The course in the Gardens was the first permanently marked out course in New Zealand. Starting out with 17 object targets and one lone basket back in 1996, it has grown over the years and has now become a full 18 basket tournament course. The course traverses anti-clockwise around the well established Queenstown Gardens. All targets are chain baskets. About half the holes are in the more open areas, with mowed grass underfoot, and the other half are in a pine forest, where the ceiling is low. It is a relatively short course, at 1220 metres. There are four par 4 holes, with two of these being over 100 metres. Two holes have compulsories and two others are blind, requiring spotters before driving. Delegates may wish to view the official disc golf rules. Overall the course favours right handers. It is free to play on the course in the Gardens, which is located a 15 minute walk from the conference venue.
