This thing is called 'Skyline Luge', it's located in Queenstown, New Zealand. It's only 800-meter long, but the cool thing is that you can overtake other people.
Horse Riding & Jet Boating
As part of our End of Year Programme we visited Rubicon Valley Horse Treks for a 45 minute horse trek. Next up it was down to Alpine Jet for an exciting ride on the Waimakariri River! After having lunch at Springfield we then finished the day with ice creams from the famous Darfield Dairy.
