You can't beat a gondola ride into the hills for dinner, then be treated to a spectacular view of Rotovegas. We went on a Saturday night, and it felt like feeding time at the zoo, but what can you expect from a buffet? The quality has declined a lot since the last time I went. We won't be back in... More

I have never done luge rides before and it was a great thing to do. We all had an amazing time going down and then back up on the chair lift. We didn't want to stop but time only allowed us 3 rides. We then sat on the grass under the gondola and had lunch.

Very friendly and there are good facilities at the summit. We bought a combination package for the gondola and the luge which was good value.

We spent a lot of time taking luge rides on the Skyline Luge! It was a blast especially for kids! The gondola ride to the top was a little expensive, but the luge was pretty much worth the money! Loved it!

The skyline is just outside Rotorua and gives views of the town and lakes. There are some walks at the top so you can appreciate the native flora and fauna. Most people went just for the luge ride down! This was great fun - and when they say one ride is not enough - that is true - go for... More

I was in town on business but had time to go up. I brought a combo gondola luge and had a 10% voucher from my hotel. It was just offer $32 which wasn't to bad. There is also a wine tasting area which was fantastic. I had a great chat. And I got a great wine. The luge is done... More

At first we thought the gondola and luge was a bit expensive, but when you get to the top and take in the spectacular view you will change your mind.... We thought the luge was great, our kids age 7 and 8 were a bit scared at first, but once they did it once we couldn't stop them going back... More

Great view but thought the trip up & back at $25 per adult a bit steep when compared to other gondola rides travelled on.

We spent the morning here, 2 adults and 2 kids. We bought a pack with 8 luge rides included which was enough - although the kids wanted more of course! The luge was great fun, and a decent long ride through some spectacular scenery. There are great views of Rotorua from the top of the gondala, but the highlight for... More
