Upon arrival, a attentive staff member briefs you on safety instructions before escorting you to the helicopter for your flight adventure. Hop onboard, get acquainted with your pilot, and take off. Enjoy stunning views of the turquoise-blue waters of the Crater Lakes District along with breathtaking vistas of pastoral land and native forests.

The highlight of this tour is seeing the world-famous Mount Tarawera—famed for one of New Zealand's largest eruptions. Circle over the summit and marvel at spectacular views of cavernous craters and volcanic rifts. Continue your scenic flight north over idyllic Lake Okataina to an exclusive landing site. Land and join a guided walking tour at Hells Gate to see geothermal lakes, hot springs, and a mud volcano.

Return to the helicopter landing site for your flight back to Rotorua; pass by the gorgeous Mokoia Island and charming Lake Rotorua on your journey back, capping a truly magical experience.
