The Skyline Gondola in Queenstown on New Zealand’s South Island is an excellent way to gain a birds eye view of this remarkable town, regarded by some as the countrys adventure capital. You can ride the gondola simply to admire the views or, if you are more adventurous, it can be the gateway to mountain biking trails, paragliding, bungee jumping and negotiating the luge track. There is even a restaurant Just in case you feel hungry or want to dine and watch sunset over Lake Wakatipu.
The ride was opened in 1987 and will take you to a height of 790m above sea level
