Rotorua Luge Mario Kart Racing 🇳🇿 Best Places to Visit in New Zealand | 197 Countries 3 Kids

Join us on another adventure in Rotorua, New Zealand together with our friends Jessie and Cameron.

Just minutes away from Rotorua’s city center, we found the famous Skyline attraction.

At arrival, we checked the overview map to get to know the place a little better and in no time we were boarding the gondola. You can check their website for more information at https://www.skyline.co.nz/en/rotorua/

As we were climbing up the hill, we were able to see the biking tracks below as well as the magnificent views of Rotorua.

At the top we found a few shops, a café, an ice cream parlour, and a wine bar and it all kind of reminded us of home back in Switzerland.

We actually had a hard time deciding which activity to do first, but we settled on taking the luge. We started with intermediate but felt bold and tackled the advanced tracks next.

Oh boy, were we all in for a surprise! So much thrill in such a short ride! Adrenaline is definitely addictive.

But there was so much more to Skyline than the peaceful uphill gondola ride and the adrenaline-pumping downhill luge tracks.

What followed was the 50m-tall Sky Swing. This scarier-than-you-would-think experience was one we will never forget.

Next we took a snack break and restored our energy for the upcoming activity — Ziplining!

There were also walking tracks, mountain biking trails, cultural events, adventure activities and great dining alternatives, and all that combined with breathtaking views.

Once we were done with the Skyline, we headed towards our accommodation for the night at Aura Accommodations. Aura suites were right down town and featured 2 bedrooms and a fully equipped kitchen. More info at https://aurarotorua.co.nz/

For dinner, we decided to do something special and visit the Ambrosia restaurant at the famous Eat Streat.

The food was absolutely delicious and we ended the three-course-meal with their signature Ambrosia dessert.

You can book a table online with them via their website at https://ambrosiarotorua.co.nz/

Back at Aura, we decided to take a dip in the geothermal pool despite the chilly early spring night.

The next morning, we decided to do a walking tour of Rotorua. The girls did some book shopping and for lunch we had some famous NZ meat pies. 😋

Next we stopped at the Kuirau Park where we ran into some unexpected steaming, hissing and bubbling geothermal activity.

Have you ever heard of another city having bubbling mud right in the middle of its central area? We’d like to hear all about it so drop us a comment!

In the afternoon, we let Chloe and Jessie enjoy some poolside fun and activities, while we took a bike ride around the town..

By the time we were back we all got really hungry, so what’s a better way to round up a perfect day than some delicious BBQ?
