We are in an all girl (single gals in our 30s) trip all over NZ and we all loved the luge! It was like being a little kid again. Check out the jelly bean store, the clerks are super friendly and they have some fun games. Get more than just one ride on the luge, you'll love it and wanna... More

It's a bit expensive to do the Gondola and the Luge ride but it's really fun and if you take you time you can stretch our time here. We took our 4 year old so couldn't do the advanced ride but we had loads of fun and it's a great view. Food is a little expensive, the photos weren't which... More

Our first Skyline in NZ.. spent quality time at the resturant. The food's pretty good too. The hot coco is to die for. We reached in the evening and I think thats the best time as you get to see the day time view and also the night view of the city and the lake! Lovely trip, totally worth the... More

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
