It's so worth taking the gondola up for the views of Queenstown - especially for those that are not able to afford a helicopter flight, or are physically unable to climb. Also great fun to paraglide back down again! Definitely recommend it!

The views were amazing! Breath taking. My mum & I did the luge twice & had a blast. Got some great professional pictures. Friendly staff, good price & a great day out!

One of the things you have to do while you're in Queenstown. The views alone is worth the ride.

We've already seen Lake Tekapo and Mount Cook when we went to Queenstown, so the view from the Gondola was not terribly impressive. The luge was fun, but not exceptional.

If you are in Queenstown you have to go here for the views. Very nice facility, we only had some fries and wine (weird combo) so cannot comment on the food. I liked the whole experience.

Great fun, but we went around dusk, and the pictures were not as good because of the shadows on the mountain and city.

The view from a top of the mountain is fantastic. The gondola ride is great. We purchased the gondola ride along with lunch for $51NZD. I recommend anyone going up to do this. The lunch at the restaurant is buffet and really good. You will not be disappointed. The view from the restaurant, perched out over the mountain, is something... More
