EPIC FUN
If you are bored of being a passenger this is for you! I thought this was going to be a bit too ‘safe’ and still a bit lame, I was wrong, so much fun, plenty of speed and shenanigans to be had if you want them. This is an 11 out of 10 activity.

Lots of fun!
Not cheap but lots of fun! Better value for money than the luge in Queenstown, especially with older kids and adults!

Fantastic
Loved every minute of it, great experience. My partner said I had a grin from ear to ear. In 2 hours I did approx 12 runs, worth every cent .

Exceptional, highly Recommend
Fun activity for summer in queenstown. Such a great experience, we were a family of 5 and had an epic time. Although it was freezing so highly recommend using the available gloves. We didn't know they were provided until we finished. Although it's summer, dont underestimate how cold the mountain gets. Overall, we rate this 10/10 experience. Everyone had a blast, the view is also a huge bonus. Worth every penny..

Would recommend
Would highly recommend this - already have - to anyone going to Wanaka/Queenstown. Much better than the luge. I got 10 runs - including doing the long run. Because numbers are capped you aren't falling over people and there is lots of room to pass people going slower.
