Shotover Jet
Tours: Tuesday 14 August 2pm
Cost: NZ$109.00 per person
Meet at: The Millennium Hotel Foyer
Nothing you have experienced will have you prepared for the thrill and
excitement of a Shotover Jet ride; it's an adrenaline rush you'll never
forget! From the moment the accelerator hits the floor your
adrenaline hits the roof as you speed in mere centimetres of water
along the famous Shotover River and deep into the spectacular Shotover
River Canyons.
Studies have shown a good thrill livens up your system, waking up
dormant biochemical pathways that refresh, relieve stress and
heal. You experience a sense of euphoria and well being as your
brain receives a welcome cocktail of oxygen, sugar, adrenaline,
cortisol and endorphins. The result — a natural high that
makes you feel great! |

NZL 14 America’s Cup Sailing Experience
Tours: Tuesday 14 August 11am
Cost: NZ$150.00 per person
Meet at: The Millennium Hotel Foyer
Be Part Of New Zealand’s
America’s Cup History and take part in one of the most exciting
activities available in Queenstown. You can join the crew and get
involved or just sit back and relax.
Once off the dock, NZL 14 motors out past the historic white beacon at
the entrance to Queenstown Bay. When clear of the reef, a
grinding team is called upon to hoist the mainsail, 115ft to the top of
the carbon fibre mast. The headsail is then hoisted and NZL 14
sails through the waters of Lake Wakatipu, with breathtaking sights of
the rugged mountain ranges. There is plenty of time to enjoy the
stunning scenery and experience the magic of sailing onboard a grand
prix racing yacht. A privilege that is usually reserved for yachting
greats.

NZ versus Australia
From: The Courier-Mail May 19, 2007
ASK a Kiwi about skiing in Australia and they'll laugh from the belly.
One look at the big mountain peaks of New Zealand's Southern Alps and
Australians know why.
But while 50,000 Aussies cross the Tasman to schuss the slopes each
winter, few New Zealanders come our way. Those Kiwis haven't done their
figures.
Australia has the longest ski run in Australasia, a 5.9km run at
Thredbo in New South Wales. It also has the largest commercial ski area
in Australasia, Perisher Blue's 1245 hectares across seven peaks.
