Kingston Travel Guide
Kingston accommodation, Kingston activities and attractions, Kingston maps, transportation to and around Kingston - the ALL NEW Jasons Kingston Destination Travel Guide is your complete visitor guide for Kingston.
Kingston is a small town at the southeastern end of Lake Wakatipu. This is a peaceful area set amongst deep valleys, the only break to the tranquility being the train's whistle of the famous Kingston Flyer, calling you for a ride. There is easy access to the lake and all the lake activities including kayaking and boating. Or head to Queenstown, only 40 minutes drive north, for skiing and partying.
Kingston became an important area in the 1800s with the discovery of the Wakatipu goldfields. It was an important part of the transport system and had a busy shipping port.
