High: 24 Low: 10 Queenstown Nature and Eco Tourism
Queenstown Nature and Eco Tourism offers some of the most dramatic eco tourism in New Zealand – exhibiting an extraordinary diversity within a very small region (owing to the massive impact of mountain ranges on the climate). With Queenstown nature and eco tourism, discover native New Zealand flora and fauna (including the iconic kiwi, the world’s only alpine parrot the kea, fern covered rainforests, tussock grasslands and much more) and New Zealand’s dramatic landscapes – ranging from everything from glacial-hewn deep fiords, sparkling lakes, snow-capped mountain ranges, grinding glaciers, wild cascading rivers, deep canyons to name but a few. more
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.
