Backpackers looking to experience adventure in Queenstown, New Zealand, should buy
gap year travel insurance in case of any accidents.
Fourcorners.co.nz reports that Queenstown, nestled in the mountainous central region of New Zealand's South Island, is renowned for its extreme sports and as such is one of the most popular backpacker and travel destinations in the country. The town has built a global reputation for bungee-jumping, white-water rafting and even more extreme activities such as the Shotover River swing, but the surrounding scenery is as much of a pull for many visitors.
Graham Budd, acting chief executive officer of Destination Queenstown, told the website: "[Queenstown] offers visitors adventure from mild to wild and all sorts of activities that push personal comfort zones, offering exhilaration and immense fun."
Alternatively, those seeking more laidback experiences can trek on the local Milford Track or enjoy the stunning sights of the peaks of The Remarkables, a dramatic mountain range that surrounds the town.
Worldwide travel insurance is urged for anyone heading to Queenstown.
