Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    Rode the Skyline Queenstown to admire the view at the top. Such an amazing landscape below. Watched para gliders and para sailers coming down from the top.

    30/9/2024 We started the hike from the top of the gondola (limited time) in the final week of the skiing season. The track is well marked, wide and scenery spectacular !
    Hiking boots are ideal as it's steep and if muddy, slippery. It's steep and we were huffing and puffing, but taking it slow and loving the moment of fresh air !
    The scenery is spectacular.

    The views were stunning I loved how the magic carpets were covered over and the chair lifts were awesome. All the staff were friendly loved the ski lessons. Great facilities. The toilets were well cleaned and prices were great. And great Cafe!

    I wanted to ski, so dropped my 3 year old girl off to Skiwiland. She didn't want to leave Mum and daddy's side, and there was a lot of tears. She had never been to the snow before. But Holly at Skiwiland said let's give it a try. She picked her up and took her straight to the other kids. I left and was able to look from a far. It seems like only after 15min She was outside in the snow doing snow angels with a smile. After a few hours they had her dancing and skiing down the small slope. I can't thank Holly and the other instructors enough for making our little girl so happy. Great service for the price. I would do it again.

    My instructor was amazing! Super sweet, friendly and informative. I was a bit nervous and she made me feel very relaxed. Would do that again in a heartbeat !

    This is a short but pretty solid hike. It is steep in places but there are also heaps of amazing vistas that allow you to get your breath back. It took me 45 minutes and I was not trying to break any records. The views are sensational. You will have panoramic views over Queenstown and the surrounds. Plus you have a bar/cafe waiting at the top.

    Pleasant staff. The experience is more for teenagers than adults. I’m not easily scared, but my gf hates the dark so was terrified throughout.

    A fantastic family hike over two nights / three days. Used Easy Hike to relocate our car from The Divide to the Greenstone car park. Easy Hike provided excellent service and advice at a reasonable cost.

    We completed all three indoor escape rooms while in Queenstown. The rooms were well planned out and challenging. The back stories and themes were fun and interesting. The staff were brilliant and seemed genuinely interested and excited about our experience. We will be back again.

    I visited Gameover Queenstown for a company outing of 14 people yesterday (01/10/2024) and it was AMAZING! The crew were so welcoming and really made the experience special. The customer service was above and beyond and the activities were super fun. I would recommend Gameover to anyone coming through Queenstown!

    Second time here and they didn't dissapoint. We had an awesome time. Was great to have the van pick us up and they were very accomodating and the activities were well run. 20/10 would recommend to anyone wanting a bit of fun with mates! Staff were friendly and great to talk to. Thank you so much!

    Blake picked us up and then dropped us at our next destination. Top class service. His knowledge of shooting helped us find the targets quickly and he also was great with local knowledge and history. Thanks Blake!

    Cool experience, easy online booking through to well managed check in at the jetty. Ride itself was awesome with Marc our driver.

    We drove ourselves to Arthur’s Point as we had booked too late to get the shuttle - not a problem and an easy short journey by car from Queenstown with plenty of parking. Great brewpub nearby to watch the action afterwards.
