Skyline Gondola & Luge

Experience the Thrill of the Rotorua NZ Luge

Looking for breathtaking views and heart-pumping fun in one unforgettable outing? A ride on the Rotorua NZ luge, combined with the scenic Skyline Gondola, delivers both in spectacular fashion.

Soar to New Heights on the Skyline Gondola

Your adventure begins aboard one of the eight-seater gondola cabins. As you ride, Skyline Rotorua’s 900-meter-long Doppelmayr cableway system carries you on a gentle, scenic journey up to the Skyline Rotorua complex. Along the way, panoramic views unfold across Rotorua City, Lake Rotorua, and the surrounding landscape. Because Skyline Skyrides is an all-weather attraction, it’s open every single day of the year.

Race Down on the Rotorua NZ Luge

Once at the top, it’s time for the main event: the Rotorua NZ luge. Designed and built right here in Rotorua, this world-first attraction offers a fun-filled ride for all ages aboard a three-wheel cart. Thanks to its unique braking and steering system, riders stay in full control, so you can go as fast or as slow as you like.

Hours of Operation

The gondola complex opens daily at 9:00 am, 365 days a year, with the last departure timed to the restaurant’s closing. Similarly, the Rotorua luge opens at 9:00 am daily, year-round. Closing times vary by season. During summer, long daylight hours allow for twilight luging over the peak Christmas and New Year period. In winter, however, shorter daylight hours mean earlier closing times.

So, whether you’re chasing stunning views or an adrenaline rush, a visit to the Rotorua luge and Skyline Gondola promises an unforgettable day out for the whole family.
