On the shores of the picture perfect Lake Wakatipu that overlooks the majestic Remarkables Range, the city of Queenstown stands boasting breathtaking scenery and plenty of fun. This city has been a constant crowd puller and one visit will make you understand why. Set amidst breathtaking lake and mountain landscapes, it is the perfect getaway for the entire family. Today amidst the stunning scenery you can indulge in wild and adventurous sporting activities that make a day out in Queenstown loaded with a good dose of fun.
When it comes to adventure activities in the city, two names stand at the top of the list; laser tag and paintball. The two actually has an interesting history behind them. Back in the day the game of paintball was actually used as part of paramilitary training. It helped one master aim and defence tactics and it worked out successfully. But the interesting part was that the more it was played the more it was loved. It turned out to be a completely fun activity with no damage caused whatsoever; just plenty of laughter and good times.
Before long the training session was turned into a sport and now in scenic places like Queenstown, it is quite the favourite. The intense combat environment combined with flashes of colour offer the perfect combination for plenty of exciting fun. The Queenstown Paintball setting is designed with state of the art guns/markers and can be powered up or down depending on the intensity desired. All this amidst picturesque scenery makes it the ideal sport to enjoy amidst the idyllic setting.
Laser tag is a somewhat similar sport but it is played in the dark with illuminated costumes and lasers used to ‘shoot’ one another. There are several other activities to indulge in when holidaying in this city. While you prepare your itinerary in the city it is pivotal to figure out good Queenstown hotel accommodation to stay in. An all time favourite New Zealand Queenstown hotel is the Copthorne Hotel & Apartments Queenstown Lakeview which provides an ideal setting in which to enjoy not only the very best in contemporary comforts, but the best this charming city has to offer as well.
