Skyline Rotorua whisks visitors by gondola to the top of Mount Ngongotaha (487m) for panoramic views of Lake Rotorua and the city. Three luge tracks — Scenic, Intermediate, and Advanced — offer downhill thrills by gravity-powered kart, and the Zoom Ziplines are a popular addition. An MTB park, restaurant, and wine bar round out a half-day visit. Gondola plus 3 luge rides NZD 59. About 5 minutes by car from the city center.

Travel Tips
The Advanced luge track is the most fun — a 3-ride-plus package is recommended. Dining at the summit restaurant with lake views is also worthwhile.
