Best Things to Do in Queenstown, solo trip
TSS Earnslaw Queenstown Cruise is 86% Solo-Friendly
A solo traveler can freely roam decks, visit the engine room, take photos, and enjoy commentary without needing companions; cruise is short, safe, and departs many times daily.

Onsen Hot Pools is 86% Solo-Friendly
A solo guest can book a private cedar tub with Shotover Canyon views, free towel, drink and shuttle; serenity is high, but the one-person rate is costly and no shared pools mean limited socializing.
