Take a day shore excursion from The Port of Tauranga to Skyline Rotorua.
A leisurely gondola ride to the top of the mountain, the thrill of the luge rides down, the Jelly Belly store, Volcanic Hills Winery and tasting room, Skyswing and Zoom Ziplines – it’s all here at Skyline Rotorua. It’s as relaxed or as exciting as you choose.
Your scenic drive from the Port of Tauranga takes you from Mount Maunganui through the beautiful New Zealand countryside to arrive at Skyline Rotorua – the most spectacular way to take in the 180 degree views of Lake Rotorua, the city and surrounding district.
To begin your Skyline adventure, take a leisurely uphill Gondola ride and enjoy the extensive views of Rotorua. At the top, the thrill of the Luge awaits! The Luge is a 3 wheel, gravity based cart and is a world first. With three different track options and over 5kms of track to ride, once is certainly never enough! The whole family will enjoy the fun Jelly Belly gallery and store or just for the adults is the new Volcanic Hills winery and tasting room.
There is a restaurant as well as a cafe so enjoy lunch at Skyline Rotorua (lunch not included in the cost) before re-boarding your vehicle and travelling into Rotorua to see the main sights of this geothermal city – including the famous Government Gardens, Blue Baths (a historic bath house), Rachel Spring (a boiling hot pool reaching temperatures of up to 100°C), lakefront and scenic sights.
Your journey draws to a close with a scenic drive that will have you arriving at the Port of Tauranga passenger gate at least an hour prior to your ship sailing time.
