Luxury and Adventure in QueenstownQueenstown is a town brimming with things to do and top of the line hotels. One of these is the Nugget Point Boutique Hotel which has a view to die for - overlooking the Shotover River. The hotel has an extensive wine list, including some tipples which your wine waiter can describe for you - because you probably can't afford these little numbers. This hotel lives up to the 'luxury' tag offering it's guests transfers in either a Bentley Limousine, Porsche convertible or Helicopter. Nugget Point is a boutique hotel set in at the base of the Coronet Peak Ski field, with views over the famous Shotover River, and was built in 1988.
After all that relaxing, you can amp things up, with Fly By Wire. And with Fly By Wire you and time are really going to fly! You will be strapped into the aircraft, winched out 105 meters above the valley floor with the motor running and then released to throttle up and down, around and about the 'wire'. You will be in full control. The most popular flight path is much like doing a figure 8 in a bowl rather than full 360's.
Alpine Choppers can take you on a scenic flight of a lifetime, soaring over snow capped peaks of the Remarkables and up to the top of Cecil Peak. This 15minute flight is not only a great way to get a feel for being in a helicopter, but will leave you with one of the most unforgettable experiences of your life.
