Queenstown nature and eco-tourism includes an impressive range of nature tourism options, including watching dolphins and seals in New Zealand’s famous Doubtful and Milford Sounds, native bird watching, scenic cruises, scenic flights, cross country horse trekking, space observatories and more. Queenstown nature and eco-tourism tours cater to a full range of abilities and tastes – from leisurely boat tours to strenuous alpine hiking.
