  • This is a packaged min tour that includes a ride of an old steamer boat, TSS Earnslaw to a hide-away country farm where they show you how to shear sheep's wool and how the dogs how to wrangle herds of sheep. At the farm, there is a nice colonial building where high tea can be enjoyed. The farm is very serene and away from any urban life.

    Skyline Gondola, Restaurant and Luge.: Skyline Luge
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • he scenery's a blur!
    Hurtle down a winding downhill track through the trees.
    Race through the bends, or pull in for a breather and enjoy the panorama from one of the stopping bays.
    Burn it up on the fast track or cruise sedately down the scenic track.
    Then hop on the chairlift and do it all again.
    Skyline Luge - it's 800 metres of fast-paced freedom.
    Once is never enough!

    Excerpt from www.skyline.co.nz.
    A I can attest, this is a really thrilling ride going down the 'experienced' track where there's little hump right before you go down a steep slope. Furthermore, enjoy the scenery while hurtling down the track. It opens from 9:30am till dusk.
