Stunning views, a must do for queens town, Id recommend having a couple of goes on the luge too at the top. Also, get the skyline back down again as I decided to walk thinking it would be a gentle track but it was a nightmare and took 1.5 hours of stumbling down steep badly signposted dirt track - not... more

This was value for money, with great views over Queenstown. The luge was popular with our teenage children. more

We bought a combination ticket of gondola, Maori show and buffet dinner. The gondola trip was not long but it was just a transportation to the top. We went into the 5:30 pm Maori show. As it was the first show of the day, only 10 guests were in the performance hall which could seat 70 people. But it was... more

Honestly some of the best views you will ever see in your life, we watched the scenery change every single day from beautiful green mountains to breathtaking snow covered peaks - gorgeous! The gondola ride was great, very steep, you wonder how on earth the sheep got up the mountain! Highlight for us was the Luge - how much fun... more

What a great view of Queenstown from the Skyline Gondola. Up at the Gondola Station there is a restaurant, shop, paragliding companies and the opportunity to go on the Luge. Would definitely recommend the luge - it was great fun! You can also go and watch crazy people doing AJ Hacketts bungy... more

I went on a overcast and rainy day and i still got beautiful views! The luge was a little boring after i had done the one in Rotorua up on the north island which was a lot better than the Queenstown ones. I wouldn't do the Queenstown luge again. The swing on the mountain is no where near as good... more

My husband and I went in late August and it was absolutely amazing. When we went outside and saw the lake and snow covered mountains, I was in awe. It was pretty cold up there, so coat, hat, and gloves are required. We didn't do the luge, but it looked like fun. Since we are not the hiking types, I... more

Went up there with a friend and it was absolutely breathtaking. The Luge was also a lot of fun. Only advice would be to pick a clear day to go up there, and make sure you bring your beanie and gloves in winter, it was freezing when we went, but then again, that could just be Queenstown. more
