What you can expect

Take your Rotorua experience to new heights with a three-hour helicopter adventure that combines scenic flight, alpine landings, and geothermal exploration. Soar above Mokoia Island and the Crater Lakes District before tracking toward Mount Tarawera, where you’ll touch down on the summit for a 20-minute guided exploration. Stand among deep volcanic rifts and sweeping views while your pilot delivers expert commentary, bringing the story of the 1886 eruption to life.

Continue along a dramatic volcanic rift line, passing Waimangu Volcanic Valley, Inferno Crater, and the colourful geothermal landscapes of Wai-O-Tapu before descending into the hidden valley of Orakei Korako. After landing, cross by ferry and enjoy a one-hour self-guided walk through steaming terraces, hot springs, and geysers, with time to relax at the onsite café. Rejoin your helicopter for the scenic return flight to Rotorua, completing a journey that blends air, land, and geothermal exploration in one seamless experience.
