What you'll do
Once at the top, you can spend your time taking photos before returning down. If you're looking for extra excitement, you have the option of riding a luge, which is a cross between a go-kart and a sled, and will zip you down a winding track that's fun for folks of all ages. There's also a bar and restaurant on Bob's Peak, if you want to relax with a drink or meal in a location with some of the best views around. After getting your fill of Queenstown from above, you can head back down the mountain in the gondola.
