The Sky Waka is closed from 26th October 2022 until the 2nd December 2022. It will be operating for our summer season, from the 3rd December 2021 - 1st May 2022.

Journey through the clouds on a return trip (one ride up, one ride down) on the Sky Waka to the Knoll Ridge Chalet.

During the winter season, enjoy snow play within a designated fenced area in front of the Chalet. Enjoy an alpine experience without venturing onto the piste.

Note: to exit onto the slopes you must have purchased a valid Anytime or Weekday day pass, Season Pass or Life Pass.

Buy tickets upon arrival at Whakapapa.

Extend your day of exploration and dine above the clouds at The Pinnacles Restaurant, NZ's highest, at the top of the Sky Waka gondola, 2020m above sea level with a combo ticket.

Combine your Sky Waka ticket with Lunch & save! Dine with us between 11:30am - 1:30pm

Travel in style with the Sky Waka and treat yourself to lunch at The Pinnacles with our special pass holder rates or upgrade your Sky Waka cabin to our glass bottom option!
