The extreme elements of many of the activities on offer in and around Queenstown rules them out for the youngest family members. This isn't the case with horseback riding, and Shotover Stables is happy to take riders as young as three. One-hour rides through the vineyards at the base of Mount Rosa are ideal for first-timers and families traveling with younger children. Those 10 and older, meanwhile, can enjoy half- or full-day treks that climb up Mount Rosa to either the sheep-farming station or the summit itself. Whichever option your family chooses, immersing themselves in beautiful and tranquil scenery is something they will not quickly forget.
