5. Wacky Races – Skyline Gondola and Luge Package
The Gondola and views from the top of Bob’s peak are stunning + giggles all the way down, we give it 4 wicked waves!
A must for all Queenstown family visits is the Luge! Take a scenic ride in the iconic Skyline Gondola and take in the stunning views as you ride the steepest cable car lift in the Southern Hemisphere!
You’ll be carried 450 metres above Queenstown and Lake Wakatipu to the top of Bob’s Peak, where you’ll enjoy a spectacular 220-degree panorama with breath-taking views of Coronet Peak, The Remarkables, Walter and Cecil Peak and, of course, Queenstown.
Then take a thrilling ride enjoyed by all ages and abilities. Our purpose-built Luge carts put you in complete control as you take on over 800 metres of banked corners, tunnels and dippers. Once you’ve conquered the course, hop on the chairlift and do it all again, and again, and again.
