- Our Featured sort order ranks tours, activities, and experiences by several factors including the revenue generated by Tripadvisor from these bookings, your individual user browsing history and preferences while using Tripadvisor, the frequency of user clicks generally, and the volume and quality of customer reviews. Occasionally, newly listed offerings may be prioritized and appear higher in the list. The specific placement of these new listings may vary.
We perform checks on reviews.
Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

*Likely to sell out: Based on Viator’s booking data and information from the provider from the past 30 days, it seems likely this experience will sell out through Viator, a Tripadvisor company.
What travellers are saying
- Stuart BGaborone, Botswana4 contributionsGreat thrill in a spectacular environment for the whole family even 6 year olds they screamed with utter joy, my wife was not ecstatic when I booked the trip but afterwards was thankful for sharing the experience with the familyWritten 1 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Jonathan AugelliMadison, WI13 contributionsWe had the most amazing time on this tour. The sites were awesome, especially the exclusive location at the end, and the props provided were excellent. Tristan, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable about the sites, cast, films and books, and behind the scenes trivia. Additionally, he gave us a ton of recommendations about places to be sure to stop by in Queenstown. We even had a lengthy discussion about the lore. Lastly, the tour length was just perfect. A great afternoon outing. I would whole heartedly recommend this for any Lord of the Rings fan.Written 30 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Fay H1 contributionDespite us being Quad biking before in Australia and overseas, Mark & Jordy were incredibly professional, thorough & experienced, we were very lucky to have them as our guides! covering all safety measures with us before the ride, patient and really helpful. This Nomad ATV tour is the best we have done, its an absolute must on your to do list, we’ve done heaps of activities whilst here, but this one was a highlight for our family. The views and tour through the mountains is simply incredible, both up and down the valleys, you will not regret it, it’s worth every dollar :). get it booked in!!Written 28 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sherpa055720904311 contributionLOVED OUR EXPERIENCE! It was soggy and freezing cold, but Lexi, Lucy, John & Izzy made our experience so fun. Especially love Izzy’s commitment to reading out a quote by the English settlers of New Zealand and their amazement at the bird life.Written 3 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- JoxyTamborine Mountain, Australia19 contributionsThis was hands down the best jet boat ride we did out of 4 different boat rides that we did on holidays in September. We chose to drive to Glenorchy ourselves but our booking through Viator included transfers from Queenstown. Our driver was informative and a good boat driver. So recommend, the scenery was stunning for 2 hours. You will get a bit wet from the 360 spins which were lots of fun.Written 2 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- uday kumar n1 contributionPlease don't book with Tripadvisor. Anyway want to book, book straight with Kjet or any other jet boat company. Definitely ot with tripadvisor. They don't respond and their conditions and policies are cheatingWritten 1 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- lizSydney, Australia26 contributionsYou don't have to be an adrenaline junkie to skydive. This memory is gold. I decided to skydive with daughter as her 21st present. I have no regrets at jumping at 15 000ft and enjoying some of the best views in the world. The skydive was safe and the freefall was an exhilarating experience. My instructor Angus who I was paired with was calm and I felt very relaxed throughout the experience. Don't delay a magic opportunity like this. Book NZONE for a special present for yourself or a friend or family member. It is such a thrill to soar and be free!Written 2 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Eloise N11 contributionsWe took two flights with these guys and were so impressed by their calm, cheerful professionalism and knowledge of the local area.
The first time, they delivered us to a sunny mountain top so we could get married on a freezing winter's day. Our toddler got cold, so the pilots sat inside a helicopter with her, chatting away.
The second time was to Milford Sound with a glacier landing on the way back. We need to give kudos to Cody for his photo skills - he took so many great pics of us at each landing. Thank you so much!
We felt like we were in safe hands the whole time.Written 28 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We got lucky,, it was the second last day before they closed for the summer!!
Must do the jump into the river from the cliff!Written 28 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Highly recommended.Written 25 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Mareta S1 contributionIt was a rainy day but we didn't care! Our driver made sure we were all safe he had a great sense of humour! Staff explained everything clearly. We had a blast! Would definitely book again if I go QueenstownWritten 26 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Lisa C1 contributionMy favorite activity in Queenstown! This was such a great activity. I went with my daughter and another family. The brochures don’t do it justice. We had the most amazing time. It was accessible to most anyone, you don’t have to be a top athlete but had enough excitement and activity to keep most engaged. Repelled down waterfalls, beautiful scenery. Top marks all the way through.Written 22 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- likesdwarvesSydney, Australia22 contributionsCouldn't have been more impressed. Kids had a ball, and the adults did too. Highly recommended for families with little ones who aren't old enough for the other rafting options in Queenstown.Written 30 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- lovetotravelhkAustralia376 contributionsWe had a blast learning to shoot clay pigeons with Skinny. He’s patient and gave us a lot of support as it was our first time using shotguns. A great ending to our Queenstown trip.Written 2 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
