Brilliant few hours, well worth it - What a fun few hours,
Going up in the finals, coming down three different tracks on a big strong plastic luge with braking system.
Then returning to the top by ski lift.
A lot of laughs had.
Good restaurant at the top and a self service shop to get , sandwiches , pies etc.
A great fun trip.

Suitable for all ages. - Gondola ride was enjoyable. Nice cafe/view at top. The luge was very well run and designed. Safe and fun. Kids love it. I am in my 50’s tall and built like a lumberjack but the systems worked just as well for me. My wife and I both liked it.

Spectacular - So much fun for families with young and old children. Spectacular views to go with your rides along with food and other activities for small children. Price was very reasonable giving us Gondola rides to the top with 5 rides on the Luge.

So much fun! - I was really nervous about doing this excursion. I'm so thankful I tried it. I had so much fun I didn't want to stop. It's super easy to control the sleds, no one was being reckless and it moves along, so you are never waiting in line. The gondola and ski lift was super easy to get on and off. I never felt scared or insecure. There were people of all ages having a great time. Please go and enjoy!

Good fun - Good fun, went on a week day so no lines or anything. Definitely do 5 runs so you can do all the runs but “Gravity” is a must. The flying fox was fun and fast but the swing seemed more exhilarating, so would suggest do that over the flying fox but it was still fun.

Tremendous Fun! - Great tour of the area with an informative guide. Rotorua and the Gondola ride were lovely. The luge track was a very fun addition to our day while still getting to see the area. Would definitely recommend to everyone!

Taranaki shore excursion - The tour was a little disorganized. The guide Roger was running behind schedule, not sure of the time he needed to return us to the port for our boarding of our cruise ship. Didn't really comment much on history or geography of where and what he was showing us. Did take us to geothermal pools, and redwood forest. We are from California and we have lots of redwood forests, he never said much about this one, how did they get a redwood forest in New Zealand? Seemed to have alot of unexplained wondering around time. That being said the adventure park with the gondola and luge ride was great! Could have been a better tour with a different guide.
