Description:

Powered by whirling propellers, take off into the skies for an unforgettable helicopter tour around White Island and Mount Tarawera. Depart the picturesque lakefront jetty and climb high above sublime volcanic peaks, expansive lakes, and gushing geysers.

Meet your professional pilot at the airfield, set near the charming banks of Rotorua Lake. Receive a safety briefing and strap into your seat as the engine hums to life. Rise up over rocky volcanic landscape to get breathtaking views of sparkling blue water and thick green forests. Soar above Mount Tarawera and marvel at the majestic volcano which dominates its surroundings, rising to an elevation of 3,680 feet (1120 m).

Cross the bay of plenty to arrive at White Island, enjoying unobstructed looks of the dramatic activity inside its crater. Land on the rim and embark on a guided tour through the remains of an old sulfur mine. Snap a few photos and step back into your whirly bird for your return flight and one last look at some of the most stunning landscapes in the whole of New Zealand.
