New Zealand proudly proclaims itself as the home of stupid "sports", and no visitor to the country should leaving without having themselves terrified with either a bungee jump or a jet boat ride along one of South Island's many rivers. Queenstown is the centre of the world when it comes to throwing yourself off bridges and acting the fool; so make sure you visit as part of your itinerary. If you're too scared to do anything silly, then you can still join in the fun by following the many paths used in the Lord of the Rings films that were made in the area.
