Queenstown is our favourite place in New Zealand, and after seeing this vlog and the other travel episodes to come (3 more still in this mini-series) you'll see why! Since returning to NZ we've been hunting out a lot more of the best hiking trails and walks around the country, but despite that we STILL hadn't ticked off the best walks in Queenstown. This trip we wanted to change that, so we made a list of some of the best walks and hikes and picked one of each... one tougher, one cruisier.

The Queenstown hill walk is a bit of a beast, there's mixed reviews online about the state of the walking track and elevation but it's unanimously known as one of the best hikes in the area. It's a good few hours of what feels like straight up elevation as you hike up through the trees, before reaching what we pretty quickly called the best views in Queenstown. It's starting point is a few mins up the back of town by car, or a walk up through the neighbourhoods to get there - but you're probably best saving your legs for the climb to come! Classify this one as a legit hike.

For a more chill walk, it's only a 20-minute flat stroll to reach the jetty at Bobs Cove, but you get access to the water within about 10 mins. You do need to drive 15ish mins out from Queenstown to reach Bobs Cove, then you have a collection of different walks and loops you can do. Not really hikes as such given how chill they are, at least thats how we think about it.

Gotta love how there is so much beauty to see in Queenstown, and all of those for free!

Hey you two! We just found your channel and have no idea how we hadn't come across it until now. CRIMINAL! We've really been missing out! We're two kiwis on the other side of the world (Sweden) and it's awesome to have a bunch of content to binge to make us fully homesick 🥰🥰🥰 Let us know if you're ever in Sweden and need a couple of tour guides.

[haurakicellars]

[dearmountains]

Hi Dane and Stacey❣❣ I just found your vlog😊
Absolutely beautiful, Thank you both for continuing to share your adventures．

[luceliaperalta]

Obrigada por compartilhar conosco esse lindo lugar

[WhenAdventureKnox]

Such a great video. Paid-for excursions can be great, but if the scenery is stunning, you can't beat a freebie hike! 🙌 I especially loved how the first hike combined history with the information boards. The land looked so dry and yellow, were you guys there at the height of summer? That jetty at the end is like the epitome of what you hope to see when looking for a perfect travel photo spot!

[Kiwi-Macca]

Well done guys. A good reminder Queenstown can be as expensive or as cheap as you want. It doesn't deserve the knocks it gets. I love the walks there and on my last visit I got a private room at a backpackers for $65 a night.
