Queenstown is a place of extraordinary natural beauty. Surrounded by breathtaking landscapes, you're never far from pristine wilderness. This unique environment is not just a backdrop for our experiences; it's a living, breathing ecosystem that we're privileged to enjoy. 

Help preserve and enhance Queenstown's natural beauty with three easy ways to make a positive impact while you're visiting.

Many of our local accommodation providers, attractions, and eateries are at the forefront of sustainable practices, making it easier for you to enjoy your stay while minimising your environmental footprint.

Find inspiration for your visit with this guide to low impact stays featuring unique and environmentally conscious spots that are leading the way.

Volunteering allows you to connect with our community and experience Queenstown from a unique perspective. It's a chance to work alongside locals, contribute to meaningful projects, and create lasting memories to take home.

Love Queenstown publishes a schedule of local volunteer events. Our top pick for the summer would be the Queenstown Mountain Bike Club Wednesday Dig to help maintain our world-class bike trails followed by a feed and a yarn with like-minded people.

Love Queenstown is a giving platform that raises funds and awareness for local environmental efforts, ensuring every visitor to Queenstown has the opportunity to give back and play a part in the protection and regeneration of our environment.
