Making the Most of Late January in Queenstown: A Round-Up of Our Favorite Adventures

As the final days of January roll around, Queenstown is still buzzing with summer energy—long sunny days, warm evenings, and countless ways to explore the region. If you’re looking for inspiration before the month slips by, look no further! We’ve rounded up some of our most popular blog posts and favorite tips to help you create the ultimate Queenstown itinerary. Whether you’re into scenic drives, culinary adventures, or simply soaking up the sunshine, there’s something for everyone.

1. Scenic Views Accessible Only by Car

Take advantage of the sunshine by hitting the road to uncover The Top 5 Must-See Views in Queenstown Accessible Only by Car. From Arrowtown’s historic charm to the breathtaking stretches of the Glenorchy-Queenstown Road, you’ll find endless photo ops around every bend.

2. Foodie Delights at Half the Price

Planning a memorable meal? Our Foodie Finds for Less post highlights how to dine in style without breaking the bank. Grab a table during off-peak times and enjoy top-notch dishes at a fraction of the usual cost.

3. Family-Friendly Fun

If you’re traveling with kids—or just the young at heart—check out our Winter Family Fun in Queenstown. From animal encounters in Glenorchy to tobogganing (in season) at Coronet Peak, there’s plenty to keep everyone entertained year-round.

4. Arrowtown Adventures

Only a short drive away, Arrowtown offers a quiet retreat from Queenstown’s hustle. Historic streets, bike trails (with 20% off at Going Blue using code EvolveVIP), and fantastic food options await in this quaint gold rush town.

5. Lavender Dreams in Wanaka

For a serene summer day trip, head to the Wanaka Lavender Farm. Sample lavender ice cream, stroll through fragrant fields, and even stop by Mrs. Jones’ Fruit Stall on your way back for a real fruit ice cream treat.

6. Relax and Unwind (Indoors or Out)

Sunny days are perfect for adventure, but if you need some downtime or the weather isn’t cooperating, our Winter Warmth in Queenstown post still applies. Saunas, spas, and cozy indoor spots can be just as appealing in summer when you need a little pampering.
