Journey above Queenstown with a ride on the Skyline Gondola to admire the night sky through the clear, pollution-free air. Queenstown is an ideal destination for stargazing and with Skyline Stargazing you can enjoy the 'hidden world' not viewable with the naked eye fro the top of Bob's Peak. With spectacular views not often seen around the world, visitors will have access to high quality telescopes to view the incredible arrangement of stars and galaxies including the iconic Southern Cross, the Milky Way and a handful of other nebulas and planets.
Stargazing tours run for a duration of 75 minutes throughout the year, giving visitors more than enough time to enjoy the beautiful clear skies and the chance to come back anytime they please. The tour can cater for groups of up to 50 people with each tour tailored to suit individual groups and knowledge levels.
