How to get your five a day in New Zealand

No vegging involved

| UPDATED

The crazy thing about a holiday in New Zealand is just how much you can fit into a single day. With everything so close together, you don’t have to travel far to experience a lot, and now travelling to the other side of the world couldn’t be cheaper, with flights starting from just £549.

Not convinced? Here’s an example of how much you can fit into one day in and around Queenstown – a perfect set of activities for adrenaline junkies.

Wake up – and go bungee jumping

New Zealand is spectacular to look at, but it’s even more remarkable when that scenery is rushing towards you as you fall from the sky with only a bungee cord to save you. Opting for a light breakfast is essential.

Follow that with a quick skydive before lunch

If the bungee jump doesn’t get the adrenaline pumping, a skydive over The Remarkables mountain range will do exactly that. Take in the stunning views of Queenstown from a true bird’s eye view.

Head to the river for a whitewater jetboat ride

If you’ve never seen a jetboat up close before, don’t worry they look exactly as awesome as this picture would have you believe. The Shotover River (as its name suggests) is fast-flowing to a fault, so hold onto the sides and be prepared to tackle the rapids.

Experience a Canyon Swing

Enjoy one last high-adrenaline thrill with the world’s highest cliff jump. Anyone who tells you they did this and didn’t scream is a liar.

Finish the day off with the ultimate NZ burger

After all that heart-stopping action, it’s important to refuel and you won’t find a better Queenstown burger than the ones at Fergburger.
