QUEENSTOWN EVENTS CENTRE
The Queenstown Events Centre is an impressive multi-purpose indoor sports and events
complex bordered by the stunning mountain ranges of the Lakes District. The venue is
extremely flexible, offering an extensive range of function and meeting room facilities
that can be adapted to meet the needs of events of any size. As the largest venue in the
district with a combination of smaller function rooms, Queenstown Events Centre offers
versatile and functional facilities. It’s located only five minutes drive from the centre of
Queenstown, is adjacent to the Queenstown International Airport and has ample free
parking available on site.
QUEENSTOWN MEMORIAL CENTRE
Right in the heart of the Central Business District, the recently refurbished Queenstown
Memorial Centre offers versatility and flexibility as one of central Queenstown’s larger
venues. The main auditorium space allows for both theatre and dining configurations.
Incorporated into the complex are two function rooms and a commercial kitchen. The outdoor
patio deck and adjacent recreation ground provide outdoor dining or marquee opportunities
with plenty of secure parking close by. The key to Queenstown Memorial Centre’s success
is its flexibility; whether you’re conferencing, holding an exhibition, presenting a show or
running a themed spectacular - it is the venue of central Queenstown.
ARROWTOWN ATHENAEUM HALL
Located in the main street of Arrowtown with its array of boutique shops and restaurants and
backed by the impressive Crown Range, Arrowtown Athenaeum Hall is the place to come for
your theatre, conference or special occasion.
This well-loved special events venue includes a main auditorium, presentation and
performance stage, supper room with full kitchen and bar facilities, a backstage area,
excellent access and ample free parking nearby. This small gold mining town’s historic
centrepiece will add charm and character to your event.
LAKE WANAKA CENTRE
Nestled in the heart of the picturesque Wanaka township, the Lake Wanaka Centre is one of
the most popular venues in the district. Built from natural timbers and local stacked stone,
the complex is set within landscaped grounds right beside the clear waters of Bullock Creek.
Offering a warm, well-lit, and attractively decorated interior, modern bars and kitchens,
a sweeping outdoor deck and ample parking nearby; this is a versatile option for all occasions.

Colonel’s Homestead restaurant at Walter Peak High Country Farm, set in its
expansive lakeside gardens, has all the charm of a bygone era. For business

MILFORD SOUND
Milford Sound is a world famous natural wonder - grand, brooding, serene
and wild. For Queenstown and Te Anau based groups, we can arrange a
variety of half day, full-day or overnight tours specific to your group’s needs.
Our luxury glass-roofed coaches are specifically designed to travel the
stunning overland route (Milford Road) to Milford Sound. Otherwise, you can
fly direct from Queenstown in our quality aircraft.
On arrival join one of the scheduled daytime Nature or Scenic Cruises with
a range of dining options, reserve tables for your function or charter an
entire vessel. Specialist Nature Guides are available to provide informative
commentary. Alternatively, on an Overnight Cruise you’ll be able to venture
out onto the fiord by kayak or explore by small boat. A delicious evening meal
and cooked breakfast will be prepared by our on-board chef.
DOUBTFUL SOUND
Doubtful Sound is a place of towering peaks and bush-clad islands, of twisting hidden arms and sheltered coves. Home to fur seals, bottlenose dolphins
and rare penguins. We provide coach connections from Queenstown and Te Anau,
making it simple for groups to access this remote fiord. We operate two
well-appointed vessels suitable for various groups sizes.
Join a scheduled daytime Wilderness Cruise or charter a vessel for exclusive
use. For the ultimate fiord experience, consider an Overnight Cruise. These
cruises allow plenty of time to explore with our nature guide, kayak around the
shore line or cruise in a small boat, or simply relax on deck. In the evening
the on-board chef will prepare a three-course dinner while the group relaxes
in the saloon with drinks from the bar.
The above are suggested itineraries. Our functions team are happy to tailor
a package specific to your individual group’s requirements.

The Kawarau Bungy Centre is notably the most unique, fun and interactive
events venue in the area. It can be transformed into the perfect setting for
any event, whether it’s a product launch, a cocktail party or a formal dinner.
The Centre’s award-winning design ensures visitors enjoy a truly memorable experience,
but of course, the highlight of your event is sure to be the private night Bungy Jumping.
We can jump up to 30 people over the course of an evening, so with exclusive access to
the Bungy site we encourage you to spice up the night and offer your guests the opportunity
to take on the ultimate personal challenge.
Mt Nicholas: Show your group the real slice of paradise with a cruise over to Mt Nicholas
Station on the Spirit of Queenstown. Mt Nicholas Station is a working high country farm,
situated on the west side of Lake Wakatipu. It is available for corporate events and authentic
high country experiences. We can take your group on one of our unique half day walks, a
Musterers Safari tour or on a guided tour through our authentic woolshed. The woolshed
at Mt Nicholas Station is also available for private hire and functions.
For those less inclined to Bungy Jump we also have the newly opened Kawarau Zipride,
our latest innovation, which zips people 130m alongside the Kawarau River and brings
them slowly back to the launch point as they take in the scenery (you can even ride in
heels and a dress).

‘An Hour of Power’
Milford Sound - Grand, brooding, serene and wild. Milford Sound draws
visitors from all over the world to cruise its length and wonder.
In an unforgettable New Zealand jet boat experience you’ll be transported from the
sophisticated downtown area into the channels of two of New Zealand’s most scenic rivers.
Across the pristine waters of Lake Wakatipu and through the tranquil beauty of the willow
- lined Kawarau River, the jet boat then speeds into the shallow, fast-moving braids of the
Shotover River. The 43 kilometre, hour-long adventure highlights the magnificent diversity
of Queenstown’s waterways. Unique glimpses of local life are afforded as the homes lining
the lake shore flash by, before passengers take in stunning views of The Remarkables
mountain range and natural land formations.
But it’s not just the views and river gardens - the excitement begins in the Shotover River,
where your driver’s skills are challenged as he navigates the shallow, braided channels
of this world-renowned river. At speeds of up to 85 kilometres per hour - in water often less
than 10 centimetres deep - this is where the jet boat comes into its own. Passengers hold
tight onto heated hand-rails and feel the adrenaline surge as the driver dodges sandbanks,
rock-faces and puts the boat into 360 degree spins.
Driven with passion for over 50 years, KJet is the original Queenstown jet boat operation.
It’s an unforgettable experience that offers huge excitement as well as insight into local
and historic knowledge about the gold-rich Shotover River, the majestic Southern Alps
landscapes and native New Zealand wildlife.
Conference and Incentive
Off the plane and straight onto a jet boat for an exhilarating airport transfer to wow your
delegates, a Maori greeting along the way and champagne on arrival at The Main Town Pier
- a totally unique arrival into Queenstown.
KJet packages include transfers to an exclusive heli-pad along the Kawarau River, to
Moonlight Country, Gibbston Valley, and Jacks Point.
For capacity, variety, flexibility and innovation don’t look past KJet. Fun, excitement and just
a great way to travel, KJet has the largest capacity on the Kawarau and Shotover Rivers,
moving up to 140 people at one time.
Underwater Observatory
Stepping out of the boat, guests descend beneath the surface of the lake into the fascinating
Underwater Observatory, where guests can check out the underwater inhabitants of Lake
Wakatipu. Diving ducks, massive trout and slinky eels mix and mingle just metres from
the lakeshore. Underwater Observatory offers fascinating and informative entertainment for
all ages in all weather. Informative story boards tell the Maori mythological history of the
lake and the 52-year history of KJet while feeding the fish offers excitement for the fish as
well as the viewers.
Nature Cruises
Explore in a relaxed and leisurely way on a two-hour extended cruise
on board a traditional styled boat. Our specialist Nature Guides
will provide fascinating commentary, and are on hand to point out
landscape highlights and wildlife; including seals, dolphins and
penguins. A variety of delicious lunch options available.

coach connections from Queenstown and Te Anau. Scenic flight

Expect sensory overload as your mind, body and soul fight against every natural self
preservatory urge. The impact on your life that the act you are now contemplating will have,
cannot be overstated. The personal challenge is immense. Immense, because the only thing
preventing you from enjoying this, one of the most primal life-shaping experiences, is your
own mind. You must choose. To go through life able to say “yes, I did it”, or to go through life
knowing that you had the opportunity, but you turned it down and walked away from becoming
the complete person you could have been.

Your real NZ experience
Canyoning.co.nz has three highly-entertaining canyoning experiences: The Queenstown
Canyon, 10 minutes from the centre of Queenstown, The Routeburn Canyon, 20 minutes
from Glenorchy in the Mount Aspiring National Park and the Earnslaw Heli Canyon 20 minutes
helicopter ride from Queenstown Airport.
The Routeburn and Queenstown canyons both offer an aquatic style with challenging aspects
on zip lines over the canyon, to intense abseiling / rappelling options. The Queenstown
canyon is a high-wall canyon with an easy 5 minute access walk. The Routeburn Canyon
starts with a 20 minute walk along the world-famous Routeburn Track and is a more
descending canyon in primary rainforest. The Earnslaw Heli Canyon offers over 500 metres
of vertical descent with 18 major rappels, a chance to test your nerves and passion.
After a safety briefing and demonstration, you step up and perform the task. This is hugely
rewarding and very interactive. Variations in slides, and exhilarating rock jumps, deliver a
mental challenge as well as a physical one. The equipment provided allows you to access
and enjoy otherwise forbidden territory. All canyons are considered to be of exceptional
international standard for the canyoning terrain traversed and the guiding experience provided.

Shotover Canyon Swing is adrenalinised adventure at its best.

Launch yourself from our 109m cliff-mounted platform. You’ll reach speeds of up to 150kph
as the rocky cliff face rushes past you in a 60m vertical freefall, the ropes then smoothly
pendulum you into a giant 200m swing across the famous Shotover River.
There are two basic launch methods: jump yourself or be released from our special launch
boom. With over 70 different solo and tandem jump styles we can expertly manage the
scariness for everyone - from knitting nanas to adrenaline junkies, we have the style for you.
Located only 15 minutes from Queenstown, trip time is 2.5 hours.There is no rushing, it’s all about
you and there is often time for more than one swing. Shotover Canyon Swing is a multi-awardwinning activity, Qualmark endorsed, Enviro Bronze accredited and Outdoors Mark certified.
Conference and Incentive
We can provide a memorable experience for groups of 6 - 100 people at our private and
exclusive venue. An ideal incentive activity with theming options available.

Frogz White Water Sledging is an action-packed adventure through the Kawarau Gorge!
Frogz has been running white water sledging trips from Queenstown and Wanaka since 1991.
Our sledges are river-purpose designed, and built here in New Zealand! The sledges are
very buoyant and manoeuvrable, perfect for running rapids and spinning in whirlpools.
The Roaring Meg adventure takes you through 6km of some of NZ’s best high volume
white water. The river has something for everyone: fast flowing rapids, boils, whirlpools
and a chill out final section to allow you to enjoy the amazing scenery of the historic
Kawarau River. Just when you think it’s all over, the guides take you back to the start to
run the 6km of white water rapids again!
The Roaring Meg section of the mighty Kawarau is graded 2 - 3. No experience is
required, you must be able to swim, be reasonably fit and confident in water.

Tandem hang gliding or paragliding is one of the best adventure activities
you can experience while visiting Queenstown.
Ziptrek Ecotours is NZ’s #1 original zipline tour and is a spectacular guided eco-adventure
through the forest canopy high above Queenstown, next to the Skyline Gondola.
Ride the gondola and check in at the Ziptrek treehouse before stepping off
architecturally-designed tree platforms and flying tree to tree down the ziplines.
Available only in a few places around the world, Serious Fun is the pioneer in commercial
riversurfing, operating since 1989.
We provide flights from Coronet Peak located just 20 minutes’ drive from the centre of town. Let
the SkyTrek courtesy shuttle pick you up from town or your accommodation and drive you to one
of our many launch areas ranging from 3800 feet (1143 m) to 5500 feet (1676 m) high. Our
friendly and professional tandem pilots are highly experienced with safety being of the highest
priority. Your pilot will gently guide you through the steps required to become airborne with us.
Recommended for ages 10+ or 35kgs - 120kgs.
With rapids graded 2 to 4, Serious Fun offers small and personalised experiences
for everyone from the fun, thrillseeker to families needing smaller rapids and private
guides. Riversurfing is one of the most proactive and rewarding experiences available,
tailored by the world’s best trained and qualified guides. A must do in Queenstown.
Co-owner Ian Clark is 2011 NZ Hang Gliding National Champion. Co-owner Shai Lanuel
is the most experienced paragliding instructor in New Zealand. Let our qualified tandem
pilots show you what it’s like to fly like a bird on this year-round activity in one of the most
scenic places in the world.
Ziptrek runs all year round and is stunning whatever the weather. With two fun tours to
choose from it’s suitable for everyone; the Moa 4-Line tour is an ideal introduction
to Queenstown adventure while our Kea 6-Line tour is pure eco-exhilaration which
includes the steepest tree-to-tree zipline in the world.
