    Awesome list! Man, there is SO SO SO much to do in Queenstown. We were there 10 days, did an activity (or 2) every single day AND still only did about half the things you mention on this list. We did do Skippers Canyon jet though which, we agree with you, was pretty awesome thanks to the whole journey getting there on that ridiculous gnarly road, but we have to warn you guys to NOT underestimate the scariness of the Ledge Bungy! Running and jumping into the abyss is so surreal and Robin (part of our backpacker squad here on our channel) nearly passed out! Had to get the doctors in and everything. Haha. Anyway, awesome content - we love what you do here on YT :) Can't wait for more NZ videos!

    Sneaky wee fact for ya. The jet boat, bungy, and canyon swing are all kiwi inventions. I just think doing those things in NZ makes it all the bit better.

Also, not adrenaline, but Arrowtown is worth mentioning. Not too far away n the food there is insane n the Historical Chinese settlement is so worth a look Xx
