Skyline & Adventure Activities
Stargazing
– The night sky is as fascinating as it is beautiful. Ride the Gondola high above Queenstown to explore the galaxy and learn about the stars, nebulae and planets that make up our solar system and beyond. Our knowledgeable and experienced stargazing guides will meet you at the top of the Gondola before leading you up Bob’s Peak where, with our powerful telescopes, you can be amazed by sights not visible to the naked eye. A Canada goose down jacket will keep you cozy and warm, even on the most crisp winter evenings then finish the night in our bar lounge. A truly unique and memorable experience.

Luge Rides – Enjoy a thrilling, gravity fuelled ride in a speedy three-wheeled Luge cart. Take it easy on the Blue Track or race round the curves and over the bumps of the Red Track, then hop on the chairlift and do it all again! It’s safe and you’re always in full control.  Kids can ride in tandem with adults on the Blue Track making Skyline Luge fun for all ages

Your flight to altitude will take you high above the Wakatipu basin, where you will have a birds eye view of our dramatic mountains and lakes. Jumping directly above our drop zone you will experience freefall of up to 60 seconds before your Tandem Master deploys the parachute and together you glide back to earth. The canopy ride takes approximately 5 minutes. Please allow 3 hours for the entire experience.

Our three lines are side by side, letting everyone take off from our Kawarau Bungy Center in a hot pursuit for the finish line.

Kawarau Bridge Bungy
As you shuffle out to the edge of the bridge, heart pounding and mind racing, remember this – you’ve found yourself at the World Home of Bungy. This is the original. Many people have come and gone, on a mission to push the limits and test themselves. Time for you to make the same leap of faith.

 

Ledge Bungy

It’s up to you how you decide to Bungy at The Ledge. It’s freestyle, and you’ve got a short gondola ride to the top to make up your mind. Fling yourself off the edge of our platform high above Queenstown.  If it sounds slightly crazy, that’s because it is. But slightly crazy decisions make great stories.
