A must do in Rotorua, New Zealand. Take the cable car to the top and then choose one of three (or all three!) luge runs. It's so addictive and great fun. We booked our visit through an i site office, and got a good deal. We had 5 luge runs included in the price, and got free pick up from... more

Very fun. I think its fine for all to try out the expert route after the scenic one. I will consider the scenic route most interesting route amongst the 3 routes.

You'll save money rather than purchasing tickets for each ride. You'll need to ride the gondola all the way to the top. There's a staff member there who can take your souvenir picture and you... more

This is a great time!! The Sky Swing is soooo much fun, actually scary and fun. The luge is great, it's a blast and you get nice views of the town as you ride the lift back up the hill. We didn't eat at the restaurant. more
