Situated an easy five minutes’ walk from central Queenstown, the gondola carries visitors high above Queenstown to the Skyline complex. The best views in the region are found here, spread out in a spectacular 220-degree panorama, with breathtaking views of Coronet Peak, The Remarkables mountain range and across Lake Wakatipu to Cecil and Walter Peaks. Enjoy a sumptuous dinner in the Skyline Restaurant, serving up a Taste of New Zealand Buffet. Experience indigenous culture with the authentic and powerful live Kiwi Haka Maori performance, and catch the chairlift to ride our unique luge, a non-motorised cart, for an 800-metre blast of downhill fun.
