Paradise Ziplines is a very scenic one hour drive from Queenstown near Glenorchy. The Paradise Zipline tour is the best value zipline tour in Queenstown. It’s a little cheaper than Ziptrek and you get to do 8 ziplines instead of 6. I really like Paradise Ziplines for the interesting terrain.You are zipping down river valleys over rocks and water not just between trees.
The best local hotel is Blanket Bay which is a super luxury lodge and probably a little out of reach for many families so here’s a few great family hotels in Queenstown.
