Skyline Skyrides

Most people can’t fathom going out for Christmas lunch, for them it’s a family thing, but for many in Rotorua —a buzzing tourist city— many visitors want to go out and enjoy the festival day while away from their homes. So, it makes sense that Rotorua’s most popular tourist attraction is also the city’s most popular destination for Christmas Lunch. Skyline offer a HUGE Christ buffet lunch or dinner AND to make things even better the luges are running to keep the kids entertained. Get in quick, it fills up fast.

Skyline Skyrides is my absolute number one thing to do in Rotorua. Even though I’ve been dozens of times from my childhood through to just a few months ago as an adult, this place doesn’t get old. Firstly the ride in the gondola up Mount Ngongotaha is spectacular and secondly (the biggest drawcard) the downhill luge rides are awesome fun! A go-cart/toboggan hybrid, the luge is a cool little vehicle that you can race down Mount Ngongotaha’s specially designed tracks through lush forests. Trust me this is a guaranteed fun day out for all the family.

There is nothing like the luge to get the adrenaline going…love it!

Gondola and luge - so much fun! Be careful though, and go wine tasting afterward!

The Luge… another Rotorua invention… great fun for the littlie to the biggies!
