Skyline Queenstown

Skyline Queenstown is renowned for its Gondola ride, which whisks visitors 450 meters up to Bob’s Peak, offering sweeping vistas along the way. Once at the top, you’ll find several exciting activities to enjoy. The Skyline complex features a restaurant offering incredible views of the town and lake, making it an ideal spot for lunch or dinner. For thrill-seekers, the luge is a must—an exhilarating ride down a purpose-built track that’s fun for all ages. The area also offers walking and biking tracks, as well as a stargazing experience during the evening. Whether you're looking for adventure or relaxation, Skyline caters to a variety of interests and is a great place to spend a few hours.

While the gondola ride is a highlight, it’s important to plan ahead for the best experience. The Gondola operates year-round, but it's best to visit early in the day to avoid crowds, especially during the busy summer months. Bring layers of clothing, as temperatures can vary significantly at the top of Bob’s Peak. For those interested in the luge, you’ll need to purchase tickets in advance for the ride, as well as the option to take the gondola back up if you want to ride again. The Skyline restaurant is popular, so making a reservation for lunch or dinner is recommended, particularly during peak tourist seasons. The gondola is also wheelchair accessible, though be sure to check accessibility guidelines in advance.

Skyline Queenstown is located just a short 5-minute walk from Queenstown’s town center. The base of the gondola is located at the end of Brecon Street, where you’ll find easy signage directing you to the start of the ride. If you’re driving, there is limited parking available near the gondola base, but walking from the center is a scenic and pleasant option. Taxis and shuttles can also drop you off at the gondola base if you prefer not to walk. Once you’re at the base, purchasing tickets for the gondola is simple, and you can begin your journey to the top almost immediately.
