Book yourself into a one day, or multi day retreat to full recharge your mind, body and soul. Choose from a one-day dip into mindfulness, yoga and healthy eating or a week-long odyssey far removed from any mod-cons and distractions where you'll learn a thing or two about being with yourself.

Ride With a Difference

Have you ever tried an e-bike? They do need a little leg-work to get going, but you can turbo along at a decent pace with very minimal effort. Make fellow trail users a little jealous on any hills when you zoom past them like a breeze. E-bikes are a great way to take in Queenstown's picturesque surroundings at your leisure and Queenstown offers a fantastic network of cycle trails.

There's nothing more relaxing than trekking through pristine wilderness on horseback. Queenstown has many horse treks available suitable for riders of all levels. Trek though dramatic landscapes and visit a number of different scenic spots around the region, including some vistas you may recognise from the movies!

Yoga

Yoga is the perfect way to relax, unwind and be present in the moment. There are many relaxed yoga studios in Queenstown, with daily classes from slow and supportive, to power yoga and everything in between, many with incredible alpine views to help you find zen.
