Enjoy Sumptuous Taste of New Zealand buffet at Queenstown's most spectacular location. Take the gondola to Bob peak. The view was simply spectacular!! But be warned, it is very windy. There are 2 session for dinner, 6pm and 8pm. There is also gift shop but prices there are more expensive, you are better off getting gift on queenstown area.
Prices for $69 for dinner and gondola ride.

Dinner at the Skyline Restaurant was awesome. It was one of the "must do's" on our list for NZ. We took the Gondola up about an hour before dinner so we could have a good look at the beauty of Queenstown below and take lots of pics. Also relax with some pre-dinner drinks.
We were lucky enough to get a table right up against the window looking down on Queenstown. A breathtaking view.
The buffet dinner was great as well.

After our heart-stopping Shotover ride, and over the top helicopter ride, we were ready to come back to earth. The gondola ride was definitely a good way to end the entirely thrilling experience.
Our helicopter ride took us to the roof of the Skyline complex located on Bob's Peak. Before heading for our gondola ride, we stood at the observation deck looking towards the lovely views of Coronet Peak and the Remarkables in awe.

The view from the viewing platform is spectacular. You could see the panoramic view of Coronet Peak, the Remarkables, Lake Wakatipu and Queenstown right before your eyes.
I was afraid of heights and that didnt stop me from posing a few pics with the beautiful secenries of Queenstown.

The view from the gondola is quite awesome.
As the gondola ascend from the station you can feel it climbling up the steep slope. We began clicking the camera. The ride down is more pleasant and it feels as if you are crashing down into the forest.
We caught some sheep on the way and of cos the bungy & swing station and the beautiful Queenstown.
When you are at the exit of the gondola, there is a souvenier package of NZ$40 for you to purchase. It is the photograph of your Gondola ride. We find it a bit steep.

As it started to drizzle, we ordered something light before we head back to our backpackers.
Take a look at the menu. There are lots of varieties to choose from. Snacks, burgers, drinks, alcoholic beverages, salad bar and grill options. The prices at the cafe are reasonable and affordable.
You could enjoy spectacular panoramic views of Coronet Peak, the Remarkables, Lake Wakatipu and Queenstown if you take any of the window seats

It is a great place to shop for souveniers to bring a piece of NZ back to your family and friends.
My favourite are the Soft Toys where I could cuddle them to take some pics! You can find the kiwi’s and sheep in all shapes and sizes.

Just outside the cafe you will find a few paragliding instructor trying to get you to do the tandem paragliding with them.
You could have an adrenaline rush even without doing the ledge bungy jump from the top of the Skyline Gondola.
A tandem paragliding would cost about NZ$185. And it comes with a roll of pictures that the instructor takes for you while you are up there. Do give it a try if you could afford it and have the guts to do it.
I didnt have the guts and was eventually saved by the slight drizzling and the instructors started to pack up.

The Ledge Bungy & Swing
You dont have to go out of Queenstown to do your bungy jump. You can do your urban bungy jump here at the top of the Skyline Gondola. It is 400m above Queenstown. You could do it anytime of the day or even night.
Unfortunately, there werent any bungy jumper on that day else we could observe the jump at the outdoor viewing decks, gondola or at the Skyline Bar.
