    started this walk at 5am on a beautiful autumn day in QT. Saw the milky way and Mt Cook with the naked eye. One of the best views I have ever seen from the top. I started from Nomads and it took me roughly 3.5 hours including breaks to get to the top, however my moving time was about 2 hours to the top. It gets steep once you get to the saddle and turn left but it is worth it. A must do for hikers and casuals in Queenstown

    Changes needed!
    Disappointing to visit this wonderland after so many good reviews.
    No Smoking signs everywhere, but it appears vaping is ok !.! Multiple people vaping near the restaurant….staff not overly concerned either after being informed, as they continued to vape.!!!
    Food…..ugh. Heart attacks everywhere, no fruit, fried food galore, no sandwich’s.
    Surely you can do better? ?
    The skiing was amazing, good runs, very popular at the weekends.
    Queenstown is so picturesque, well worth a visit.

    A fantastic family hike over two nights / three days. Used Easy Hike to relocate our car from The Divide to the Greenstone car park. Easy Hike provided excellent service and advice at a reasonable cost.

    Construction at trailhead and construction at the top by luge and gondolas. make trailhead and end point a challenge. But the trail is a good with good elevation change. Proper footwear. Not for families.

    The workers were so lovely and nice and even though I’m horrified of heights they helped me conquer my fears.

    Awesome attraction, really scary and fun at the same time. Me and my wife were alone and it was a thrill!

    Excellent service. They came to fit our 10 and 16 year olds with boots at short notice. Children went from tears in second hand boots we had bought them, to happy full days of skiing in their hire boots. Best part was I also hired boots and skis. Compete game changer! After many years in my own skis and boots, I hadn't realised how much technology had changed. I also had an outdated idea of hire gear as not very comfortable or good. Snopro's gear was excellent. It helped me ski with confidence, and they were so light. It was back to the good old days of great skiing for me! The guys who came to our apartment were very knowledgeable and lovely people. I twa all so easy and great value. I'm rethinking how we kit out our family. Maybe we hire from now on. Highly recommend Snopro. We will be using them again.

    I didn't think I would be able to hit the side of a barn but with Blake's tuition I scored 17/20. Blake ensured everyone succeeded. His ability to engage the group from pick up to drop off made for a fun adventure. Nothing was too much trouble, he encouraged, cajoled and celebrated with us all. And what a majestic location. It is worth going to Break One just for the view. Such fun!

    We had a group of 18 people, including kids and adults. It was a lot of fun, I didn’t realise how much I would love these activities. The combat archery brought out our competitive side 😂 Never seen human foosball like this before, great fun. Thank you

    Booked with bus tour and made the experience super streamlined. From the moment we got there the lovely Marissa guided us everywhere and told us where and when to go, and made it super smooth and stress free. Would definitely jump again, and MAKE SURE TO GET THE PHOTOS! Super worth it- they WILL take better videos and photos than you.

    Was a great time spent here and we absolutely had a blast, this place is fantastic if your going with a group of people.
    I did have a issue with the go karts I think if your not experienced with go karting at all or have very little experience they shouldn’t put on the track with people who have way more experience than you, as I got crashed into multiple times quiet hard from people who had more experience than me and it was my first time on a track. This definitely ruined the whole experience for me
    I do think that you should be putting people on a track with only the group they come with not combine 2 groups together.
