Mount Tarawera Volcanic Adventure in elicottero

A fantastic experience, Ian our pilot was very informative and friendly. We were lucky with the weather and great views all around. It was great to be able to land and then walk to the top of Mount Tarawera.

The pilot was so great. He didn't rush us at all and the experience was 5 star. It is a memory I will never forget. Unforgettable the whole experience and the pilot going at a speed we could really take in all the scenery and his interaction and manner with us all was top class!!!!!!!!! Absolutely recommend this trip!!!!!!!!

Wahoooo! what a ride! Everything was perfect, 3 hours with one laid in Tarawea then another near a geothermal springs field in Roporua Ohakuri in an enchanting setting. A super friendly and very professional pilot, exceptional weather the recipe for an unforgettable anniversary day. Do not forget the welcome and service provided by VOLCANIC AIR, do not hesitate it is the top of the line!

Our pilot Scott was very professional made all passengers fell safe. I would go again in a Heartbeat. To see what the Power of steam can do is truly amazing. New Zealand has so much to offer and this tour is like icing on a cake.

Wow! What an awesome experience to see the landscape of Rotorua from high above the helicopter, flying over the geothermal parks, forest and the many surrounding lakes before the birds eye view of Mt Tarawera site. Volcanic Air Safaris delivered a very high standard of comfort and ease to visit this mountain that erupted some 138 years ago. I was mesmerized with the beauty of the surrounding landscapes when we landed on the mountain top. The pilot took us on a short walk to the peak point and gave us very good account of the history of the mountain and the lakes. I can highly recommend this tour, a bucket list must do while you are in Rotorua. Thank you for an amazing experience.

The sights of Rotorua were spectacular from the helicopter. Our pilot Suk was knowledgeable and shared information about the area and the geographical features. Our flight included views of the crater lakes, the Tarawera Falls and the geothermal reserves. We landed onto Mount Tarawera and began the walk along the path to the top, the views were breathtaking. My husband suffered a moment of anxiety, however Suk calmly encouraged him to proceed and he was so glad he did. Thank you Suk for making our experience a memorable one!

Helicopter landing on the amazing volcano and views from up high over the stunning scenery below, dramatic contrasts

Absolutely great time flying around the area, awesome knowledgeable pilot who shared interesting things about Mount Tarawera and the surrounding areas. Chasing deer on the mountain was an enjoyable thrill! Highly recommend.

Our excellent pilot, Sam, gave us good information on the areas we flew over which included Tarawera falls, landing and guided walk on Mount Tarawera, Waimangu Thermal Valley, Waiotapu and forestry area including Rotorua waterfront. We could see right down to Mount Ruapehu and out to see to Mount Edgecumbe and Whale Island. The views were amazing! Great way to understand and appreciate the natural beauty of the many lakes and mountains in Rotorua and surrounds. Trip lasted one hour including 20 mins guided walk on Mount Tarawera. Thanks Sam

The desk clerk was informative and helpful. Sam, our pilot was knowledgeable and approachable. The area is stunning and Sam know the best spots for pics. Well worth it
