Best time to go to Queenstown
Peak Season:
The peak season in Queenstown lands in December to February, then again in June to August. The winter months boast many exciting outdoor activities, such as skiing and snowboarding through Coronet Peak, and cultural events like the Māori New Year, Matariki.
The summer months are a great time to take advantage of the warmth and visit the Underwater Observatory, take a bicycle tour through the Otago Central Rail Trail, or raft through the Kawarau River.
Shoulder Season:
The shoulder season, which begins in September and ends in November, is a great time to visit. Not only does the price of flights to Queenstown drop, but the city sees a lull in tourism. The climate is mild and beautiful during this period, making it an excellent time to take a leisurely Queenstown Garden Tour, spend a day at the GVW Winery, or browse the unique wares at O’Connel’s Shopping Centre.
Off Season:
Flights are at their cheapest from March to May. Although there are fewer tourists around, there is still plenty to do both indoors and out. For example, you can spend some time playing at the Skycity Queenstown Casino, or experience the natural beauty of the area by taking a Skyline Gondola.
