Skyline Gondola Ride, Queenstown (NZ)

Ride in the Southern Hemisphere's highest cable car on the Skyline Gondola. Located at the edge of Queenstown, this gondola will take you up 1,476 feet (450 m) to the viewpoint at Bob's Peak, where you can soak in panoramic views extending to Coronet Peak and Walter Peak across Lake Wakatipu. For an extra thrill, you can opt for a luge ride at an additional cost, where you can zip down a track with epic views of the surrounding area.

Experience Queenstown from a bird's-eye view with a ride on the highest cable car in the Southern Hemisphere. Head to the Skyline Queenstown at the bottom of Bob's Peak and settle into a glass-covered gondola, which will take you 1,476 feet (450 m) into the sky. From the viewpoint of Bob's Peak, you can enjoy a 360-degree vista featuring sites like The Remarkables mountain range, Cecil Peak, and Lake Wakatipu. 

Once at the top, you can spend your time taking photos before returning down. If you're looking for extra excitement, you have the option of riding a luge, which is a cross between a go-kart and a sled, and will zip you down a winding track that's fun for folks of all ages. There's also a bar and restaurant on Bob's Peak, if you want to relax with a drink or meal in a location with some of the best views around. After getting your fill of Queenstown from above, you can head back down the mountain in the gondola.
