Another world!
The mountain in summer is spectacular and out of this world. Unique volcanic landscape. Great walks from the top. A very comfortable cafe with views everywhere. Great food and drink deals. A very smooth gondola ride.
From Whakapapa, Mt Ruapehu - Sky Waka Gondola Pass
Thank you for your review. We are glad you had a great trip!

Sky Waka Condola pass
We set out for Skyline Rotorua, unaware that our reservation was actually at Whakapapa, Mount Ruapehu. Unfortunately, we lost the money we spent on our original booking, as Skyline Rotorua refused to recognize our reservation for Skyline at Mount Ruapehu. This situation has forced us to pay again for the Gondola experience. Can we have arefund?
From Whakapapa, Mt Ruapehu - Sky Waka Gondola Pass
Kia ora, Firstly we are sorry to learn you booked the wrong gondola, it is understandable that Skyline Rotorua would not recognise your booking as we are completely different operators. It appears you have not yet requested a refund through Book Me for your booking with us - please go ahead and do that so you can receive the refund.

Great way to explore above the tree line
Really enjoyed our trip into the ski slopes in summer - a totally different experience the rocks are phenomenal & the few tenacious plants amazing to see. The views were also spectacular when the clouds opened up.
From Whakapapa, Mt Ruapehu - Sky Waka Gondola Pass
Thank you for your review! We look forward to welcoming you again, winter or summer!
