Tourist season in Queenstown

Peak periods include Christmas/New Year, Chinese New Year, and July school holidays requiring advance bookings.

Safety Tips for Indian Tourists

Book adventure activities only through accredited operators displaying Qualmark certification, carry appropriate clothing layers as mountain weather can change rapidly even in summer, apply high SPF sunscreen due to New Zealand's strong UV levels, drive carefully on winding mountain roads (left-side driving), secure travel insurance covering adventure activities, and carry regular medication as Indian-specific products may be limited.
