Set against the Southern Alps and lapped by the crystal clear water of Lake Wakatipu the scenery around Queenstown is truly breath-taking.

Description
Famously much used as the backdrop for the Lord of the Rings trilogy, the city is also renowned for its adventure sports. This is the birth place of bungee jumping – it all started at the Kawarau Gorge Suspension Bridge. Right from the town centre you can get a steep cable car, the Skyline Gondola, straight up to the top of Bob’s Peak. At the top there are lots of activities including a luge and paragliding, there’s also white water rafting nearby on the Shotover and Dart Rivers, so it’s no wonder that Queenstown has become such a mecca for extreme sports lovers!
Slightly less adrenaline-fuelled but no less as dramatic is hiking in the fresh alpine air, horse riding through the stunning locations used for ‘Middle Earth’ and skiing in winter on the slopes of The Remarkables and Coronet Peak.
There’s also plenty on offer for those wanting a more relaxing stay, with plenty of spa treatments available as well great restaurants, shops, an underwater observatory and wine tasting in the surrounding vineyards.

We cannot thank Emily at eShores enough for her outstanding service in planning our holiday to Kuala Lumpur and Langkawi next March. From the moment we made our initial enquiry online, she was quick to follow up with a phone call. Emily listened attentively as we shared our interests in multiple-centre destinations and our preferred travel dates. With her first-hand experience in one of the locations, she provided invaluable advice that helped us make informed decisions. She sent us an initial quote that included various hotel options across different budgets, allowing us to choose what suited us best. Throughout the planning process, we exchanged numerous questions and queries, and Emily always responded with warmth and patience, making us feel that nothing was too much trouble. Her approachable and supportive communication made the experience enjoyable, and we felt guided every step of the way. Thanks to Emily, we have a fantastic booking in place, complete with all transfers from the airports to our hotels organised seamlessly. We’re extremely excited about our upcoming trip without the stress of planning it ourselves. We highly recommend Emily and eShores to anyone looking to book a holiday. Thank you, Emily, for making this process so easy and enjoyable! Best wishes, Julie and Paul Jackson

We haven't taken our holiday, yet but to date our consultant, Rachel, has been fantastic! Rachel has delivered on all communication promises, always contacting us as promised. She has been more than happy to answer all questions, even daft ones, and been incredibly professional at all times. If our holiday is as good as the service recieved to date then we will be thrilled to bits.

I have only just booked my trip to Italy with eShores and paid my deposit. I hope that all will go well in September but I can't comment on that yet. However, I can comment about your travel advisor, Nick. He has been absolutely excellent throughout. I originally contacted you in November about a different holiday in Italy but had to pause proceedings when my inheritance didn't come through soon enough. Nick had designed and tweaked the trip and was so patient and helpful with my questions and changes. Then when I changed the trip in April again he was so helpful and patient. He is a credit to your company!

Used Eshores on a previous overseas trip and was very pleased with the whole end to end experience. Was pleased to get the same excellent service in booking a new holiday for a multi centre stay in the USA. As previously Andy who is our representative and all the admin team have been very friendly, helpful and efficient. Highly recommend this travel company.
