Skyline Rotorua is one of New Zealand’s top tourist attractions, located on the side of Mount Ngongotaha just minutes from Rotorua’s city centre. It is best known for its scenic gondola ride, which carries visitors 487 metres above sea level and offers panoramic views of Lake Rotorua, the city, and the surrounding forests. Opened in 1985 as New Zealand’s first gondola cableway system, Skyline Rotorua has grown from a simple sightseeing spot into a multi-activity adventure park. Visitors can enjoy a range of attractions, including the world-famous Skyline Luge, a gravity-powered cart ride with multiple tracks; a year-round mountain biking park with gondola access; thrilling ziplines and the SkySwing; relaxing stargazing tours; and wine tasting or dining at Volcanic Hills Winery and Restaurant. Known for its mix of adventure and family-friendly activities, Skyline Rotorua is also a popular venue for events, conferences, and weddings. The site is wheelchair accessible, follows eco-friendly practices, and offers something for everyone — from adrenaline seekers to those looking to take in Rotorua’s stunning scenery.
