Motatapu Event

The Queenstown Trail is the realisation of a ten year vision, combined with the tenacity, passion and patience of many individuals and organisations.

Our Vision:  To create a world class trail network for walking and cycling

The Queenstown Trail is one of New Zealand’s  flagship trails and along with 18 other national cycleways is billed as a New Zealand Great Ride.

The trail covers 100kms of diverse terrain backdropped by outstanding mountain ranges  and connects  three main hubs –Central Queenstown, historic Arrowtown and Gibbston – Valley of Vines. It crosses three major rivers, the Shotover, Kawarau and the Arrow, and tracks follow alongside both Lake Wakatipu and Lake Hayes.

Several bridges and underpasses provide access to new and spectacular areas and en route there are three international golf courses, famous Central Otago wineries, leading cafes and restaurants.

The Queenstown Trail is “all things to all people” and families, recreational bikers and “hardcore” cyclists can comfortably share the many different tracks.

Lake Wanaka

Wanaka is a small town, but our population has chosen to move here from towns all over New Zealand, and countries all around the world. Through travel, work and outdoor recreational sports, many who live in Wanaka have become aware of the need to conserve our resources and preserve the beautiful environment we live in. As a small town deep in the mountains, there’s no point waiting for someone else to do it for you. When it comes to sustainability, Wanaka residents have a do-it-yourself attitude which makes things happen quickly.

Mission WOW

Through face-to-face networking events, Mission WOW works to facilitate building communities of women who share a common curiosity to discover their full potential. By creating a friendly and supportive environment, we hope to motivate women to want to learn new skills and have fun.

Mission WOW (Women of Winter/wheels/water) was created as an ideas exchange for women in the outdoors, a medium through which to trade knowledge and skills, share past experiences and plan future adventures.
