South Island: Queenstown
Located on New Zealand’s South Island, Queenstown is the Adventure Capital of the World – and the site for Circle of Excellence 2009. What began as a gold-mining camp in the 1860s, today is a hip and vibrant place where thrill-seekers flock to experience some of the best bungy jumping, sky diving, heliskiing, white-water rafting and jet-boating on the planet. Flinging yourself off a bridge not your cup of tea? You’ll still find plenty of thrills in Queenstown. Golf, hiking, horseback riding, fly fishing and panning for gold are just a few of the less insane activities. And, as always, every heart-racing, breath-taking minute is courtesy of Mutual of Omaha.
