I only have 2 days to spend in Queenstown. What should I do and where should I visit?

I have 2 full days and nights and I like adventure sports. What are your suggestions of things to do and places to see?

Any specific recommendations would be appreciated.

If you want to take a break from your adventure sports then I HIGHLY recommend a little place called Kinloch Lodge which is a way out of Queenstown (perfect if you love privacy and quiet).

It is a stunning lodge - very cosy - and even includes an outdoor spa bath!

Go bungee jumping and canyoning. Not that I would! haha but I hear it is lots of fun. Also visit the beach called Paradise and hike to the top of one of those spectacular mountains.

take a bike and do a two day trail riding tour. Awesome! Better than paying $150 to dangle from a bridge for 3 minutes.

If it is not too cold plan a hiking and camping trip. It is too beautiful to stay near civilization.
If it is cold just hit the slopes - you will love it!
