Ride New Zealand's most unique gondola, high above the UNESCO world-heritage-listed mountain area. For wild adventure, for supreme beauty, and for an unforgettable dining experience.

Journey into the clouds! Your exploration of New Zealand isn’t complete until you’ve experienced the ride through the sky on the longest gondola in Aotearoa. Ride over waterfalls and ancient lava flows to take in the majestic scenery of Whakapapa, Mt Ruapehu and its neighbouring volcanoes within the dual world heritage Tongariro National Park.
