Mount Tarawera

The violent and unexpected eruption of Mount Tarawera in 1886 was not only one of New Zealand’s greatest natural disasters, but also resulted in the destruction of the grand Pink and White Terraces. The now dormant volcano is surrounded by a series of crater lakes including the aptly named Blue Lake (Tikitapau) and Green Lake (Rotokakahi).

Join us as we fly over Mount Tarawera’s eight kilometer long crater and the mysterious Buried Village. We then head over the steaming mud pools and the Pohutu Geyser.

Rotorua

A trip to New Zealand would be incomplete without experiencing the “Sulphur City”. On this popular tour we head south across to Te Puke as we fly over rich agricultural land comprising dairy cattle and kiwi orchards, mainstays of the New Zealand economy.

As we near Rotorua you will be blessed with views of Lake Rotoiti and Lake Okataina, which sit within the bounds of the pristine Nelson Lakes National Park.

We now head across the city of Rotorua where you will be rewarded with unique views of steaming mud pools and the Pohutu Geyser, as it shoots super heated water up to 30 meters into the air. Next we track across to the western foreshore of Lake Rotorua, with views of Mount Ngongatha to our left, as we make our way back to Tauranga.
