Skyline Queenstown Guide
Queenstown's Ultimate View and Adventure Destination Guide
Skyline Queenstown is an iconic attraction offering unparalleled panoramic views of Queenstown, Lake Wakatipu, and the Remarkables mountain range. A gondola ride transports you high above the town to the Skyline complex, where a range of activities and dining options await. It's a perfect destination for families, thrill-seekers, and anyone looking to soak in the beauty of the region. While Skyline Queenstown doesn't have a long historical narrative like some sites, it has become an integral part of Queenstown's identity since its opening. It has evolved over the years to offer a wider range of activities and experiences, solidifying its position as a premier tourist destination. The gondola itself has become a symbol of Queenstown, instantly recognizable in photos and videos of the area. At the top of Skyline Queenstown, you can choose from a variety of activities. The most popular is the luge, a gravity-fueled ride down winding tracks. There's also stargazing, mountain biking trails, a Maori cultural performance, and a range of dining options from casual cafes to a buffet restaurant with incredible views. For the truly adventurous, bungy jumping and paragliding are also available nearby.
