Rotorua: Scenic Helicopter Ride over Mount Tarawera & Volcanic Landing with Guided Walk

Take to the skies on a scenic helicopter ride and fly over the largest volcanic eruption in New Zealand’s living memory – Mount Tarawera and the Waimangu Volcanic Valley. Admire Rotorua’s sparkling lakes, lush forests and geothermal parks before landing on the volcano’s summit to experience a privileged view of the spectacular craters and domes formed by the 1886 eruption. Let your pilot and guide regale you with interesting commentary on the region’s history, culture and geology when you take a short walk on the crater. This unique experience is one for the bucket list!
