Whakapapa, Mt Ruapehu - Sky Waka Gondola Pass

Posted by Julie Phillips from New Zealand on22 Jan 2026
arrow_back Whakapapa, Mt Ruapehu - Sky Waka Gondola Pass
Julie Phillips said... We arrived after an hour's drive from our accommodation up into the moody wilderness in the mountains. Only to find a locked building with only a handyman to ask for assistance. There were no signs up to explain the closure, no signage at the entry way back down at the bottom of the mountain, no email advising us that the gondola would be closed, the website said it was open. Very disappointing. Still waiting response regarding a refund... I wish we had some great photos to share, alas...

A sad morning on a rainy day

Rise to stunning new heights with a return trip on the Sky Waka Gondola!
