Perfect day

It was great to be driven up to save stress if navigating to top and being able to enjoy scenery instead. Had perfect weather and drop off, time at the top and pick seamless. Only negative was need clearer information and signage where pick up spot is. That created a bit of stress and no one answered the phone. The nice people at Ultimate Hikes told us where it was.

Sensational view

Who would go to Canada when you can get a view like the one from the top of Coronet Peak. We got a great viewing bus trip, and experienced the best weather NZ could throw at us, blue sky, 360 degree views forever, and lower priced than Queenstown Skyline. If you're a nervous heights person like me, the Coronet gondola is a much better option in my opinion. Note every 4th pod is an enclosed gondola, the other 3 are open chairlift style. We went 31st Jan 2026, summer conditions. Good value and the highlight of our trip so far.
