Stunning views across Queenstown
Native wildlife and fauna
...the blur of the trees and you whizz by them!

The Ziptrek Tour Area is located on Queenstown's iconic Gondola Hill. The course can be accessed by a 5 minute walk from the town centre along Brecon Street to the base of the Skyline Gondola building (see figure 1). Enjoy the trip via the local tourism icon Skyline Gondola (please allow at least 40 minutes). Be sure to take in the spectacular Wakatipu view before heading to the Ziptrek Guest Services Treehouse tucked away in the forest. Exit left from the upper gondola terminal and walk 100 metres past the heli-pad (see figure 2).

An alternate route is to take the adventurous Tiki Walking Trail from the bottom of the Gondola to the top (please allow 1 hour). You will approach the Ziptrek Guest Services Treehouse at the top of the trail on the right-hand side.
