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.
The Sky Waka gondola travels 1.8kms up to 2,020m at New Zealand’s highest dining experience, Knoll Ridge Chalet. The multi-storey eatery features something for everyone, from high tea with amazing views to a quick grab-and-go snack.
Ski, snowboard and sightsee in winter from June - October
Sightsee, dine & hike in summer December - April
