Visited April 18th 2021, well worth the travel time. On arrival it was misty and overcast. Staff are super friendly. A good time to visit as it wasn't over crowded and check-in and purchasing of tickets for sky Waka and Pinnacles restaurant was very quick. View from the top was amazingly clear. The boys were very happy with the food selection on offer for our buffet lunch. Value for money, will visit again.

Took the Gondola and buffet meal for 59 option. The food was great, the service from our waitress was outstanding and great views from our table. At 20 for the meal, the value was brilliant and 39 for the gondola was not too bad. Highly recommended.
Quite an amazing sight to see the mountain with absolutely zero snow on it and to be able to see all the molten lava rocks as it formed so long ago. The staff everywhere were brilliant, from the shop for tickets, the sky waka attendants, the cafe staff etc. Luckily we got a nice clear day with views in all directions.
We visited on Thursday - a fantastic way to spend the afternoon. The staff are wonderful, from the ticketing person to the Gondola operators, to the restaurant/cafe staff at the top - they're a big part of what makes the whole experience. The Gondola ticket/buffet package is amazing value for money, & a stunning walk to the top is a great way to walk off lunch, or you can just relax & enjoy a beverage with the amazing views. We'll definitely be back!
A great experience but won't do it too often due to the cost. Enjoyed the buffet lunch at the top. Everything clean and new.
Loved this gondola ride. The views going up and from the top are amazing. Make sure you go for a little walk when you're up there, especially if it's summer time. Also wear sunblock.
Would have been nice to explore, however, being on a budget, 40 return was too rich for my blood. Hopefully, they will reduce the price in the near future.
We used the gondola to get up to the Skyline Hike in December. We though the gondola was good value for money. It was spotlessly clean on the interior (not even any fingerprints on the glass!). We were also surprised at how quiet and smooth the ride was. The staff were very friendly. The restaurants at the top looked nice, and were quite busy, but we had our own packed lunch on the trail. Amazing views at the top!!
