The Remarkables mountain range is pretty remarkable. Breathtaking and normally covered in snow, the peaks tower above Queenstown and reflect on Lake Wakatipu, providing a picturesque backdrop for the 'Adventure Capital of the World'. Bungy jumping was invented here, and there's no shortage of hiking trails, mountain bike tracks, and lake activities to get you out there. With magnificent vistas at every turn, it's impossible to leave Queenstown without your jaw on the floor.
