Getting to Queenstown: the airports

Queenstown Airport (ZQN) is at Frankton, about 8 km east of Queenstown centre and 20 km from Arrowtown; Wanaka is about 65 km away, Te Anau about 170 km and Milford Sound about 290 km by road.

The airport is about 8 km from the centre, and a taxi or a public bus to town takes 20 to 30 minutes; a private car is simpler for luggage and ski gear, for hotels beyond the centre, and for Arrowtown, Glenorchy, the ski fields and the long drives to Te Anau, Milford Sound or Mount Cook, which public transport barely serves.

Where to stay in Queenstown

The areas travellers ask us about most: Arthurs Point, Kelvin Heights, Jacks Point, Arrowtown, Glenorchy and Queenstown Bay and the town centre.

Wherever you stay, the airport transfer is priced for the whole vehicle, door to door, and tours collect you from the hotel; tell the desk the hotel name and everything is planned around it.

What to see in Queenstown

The places most visitors come for: jet-boat rides on the Shotover River, Milford Sound, Doubtful Sound, Arrowtown historic village, Glenorchy and the Routeburn valley, Crown Range viewpoint and the gondola up Bob's Peak.

Our day tours cover most of them with a guide and a vehicle; the pages of TSS Earnslaw Steamship Cruise on Lake Whakatipu Queenstown, Mount Cook and Hooker Valley Small Group Day Tour from Queenstown and Doubtful Sound Wilderness Cruise Day Trip from Queenstown say exactly what each includes.

What to eat in Queenstown

Worth trying: Bluff oysters, blue cod and salmon, cherries and apricots from Central Otago in summer, pavlova and hot chocolate and pies after skiing. Ask the driver or guide where they eat themselves; halal options and family restaurants are easy to find, and the desk suggests places near your hotel if you land late.

When to go

December to February is warm with long daylight for hiking and lake days, June to September is the ski season, and April to May brings autumn colours in Arrowtown; the Christmas and New Year weeks and July school holidays are the busiest, and winter storms can close roads and delay flights.

Good to know before you arrive

Tell us your flight number so the driver can follow delays, and mention skis or large bags; for Milford Sound plan the earliest possible start and a buffer before your cruise, since the road can close in winter storms.

Prices are fixed and confirmed on WhatsApp before you pay; the same conversation handles changes, questions and the next booking.

Day tours, private airport transfers, flight tickets and ferry tickets, including TSS Earnslaw Steamship Cruise on Lake Whakatipu Queenstown, Mount Cook and Hooker Valley Small Group Day Tour from Queenstown and Doubtful Sound Wilderness Cruise Day Trip from Queenstown. Each has its own page, and the WhatsApp desk combines any of them into one plan with one written price.

How do I get from the airport to my hotel in Queenstown?

Queenstown Airport (ZQN) is at Frankton, about 8 km east of Queenstown centre and 20 km from Arrowtown; Wanaka is about 65 km away, Te Anau about 170 km and Milford Sound about 290 km by road. Our private transfer meets you at arrivals with a name board, tracks your flight and takes you door to door at a fixed price for the whole vehicle; the transfer pages list every route.

Is there public transport from the airport to Queenstown?

The airport is about 8 km from the centre, and a taxi or a public bus to town takes 20 to 30 minutes; a private car is simpler for luggage and ski gear, for hotels beyond the centre, and for Arrowtown, Glenorchy, the ski fields and the long drives to Te Anau, Milford Sound or Mount Cook, which public transport barely serves. With luggage, a family or a late flight, the private car is the simpler choice.

Which tours are available in Queenstown?

Currently 10: TSS Earnslaw Steamship Cruise on Lake Whakatipu Queenstown, Mount Cook and Hooker Valley Small Group Day Tour from Queenstown, Doubtful Sound Wilderness Cruise Day Trip from Queenstown, Six Line Zipline Adventure Queenstown and Guided Quad Bike Adventure Queenstown. Each page says whether the day is private or small-group, what it includes and how long it lasts.

Are the tours private or in a group?

Both exist, and each tour page says which. A private tour has a vehicle and guide for your party alone; the desk can make most group tours private on request.

How many days do I need in Queenstown?

Two to three days cover Crown Range viewpoint, the gondola up Bob's Peak and a Lake Wakatipu cruise at an easy pace; more if you add a day trip. The desk builds the day-by-day plan around your dates.

When is the best time to visit Queenstown?

December to February is warm with long daylight for hiking and lake days, June to September is the ski season, and April to May brings autumn colours in Arrowtown; the Christmas and New Year weeks and July school holidays are the busiest, and winter storms can close roads and delay flights.

Where should I stay in Queenstown?

How do I book?

Fill in the form on any page or message us on WhatsApp with the date, the number of travellers and the hotel. A member of our team confirms the price and the details in writing within minutes.

Are the prices fixed?

Yes - every price is agreed in writing on WhatsApp before you travel and does not change on the day.

Do the drivers and guides speak Arabic or English?

It depends on the city and the day, so we do not promise a particular language; tell us your preference and we do our best. The WhatsApp desk always works in Arabic and English.

Can I change or cancel a booking in Queenstown?

Yes, in the same WhatsApp conversation. The terms depend on the product and on how close to the date the change comes; the desk states them before you pay.
