A trip up the mountain in the gondolas is fun, and the view over Rotorua makes the trip very worthwhile. More

I loved skyline so much that I got a season pass. The lugeing is so much fun, I could keep doing it for hours. The buffet dinner is great, there is so much choice. The views up there are great, night or day. Dont waste your time and money on Skyvue though, its not very good at all. More

it's kind of pricey but for Americans who are used to so many restrictions and waivers, this is a must do. The luge is a great ride. Glad to see they have gotten new helmets since I was last there 10 years ago. New gondola as well. More

Fantastic day out here in April this year. Amazing views and the Luge circuit gave us all huge grins - could've done it all day, but was getting a little expensive. Although worth it! Don't miss this one. More
