Introduction

Skyline Rotorua crowns Mount Ngongotaha, north of the town, one of New Zealand's favourite hilltop parks. The gondola rises to panoramas over Lake Rotorua and the thermal fields; the summit holds the country's longest luge track, a viewing restaurant and night stargazing, with snow sledding in winter — an all-round family and adventure destination.
