85 Mins White Island and Mount Tarawera Floatplane Tour

For travelers exploring the city of Rotorua New Zealand, one of the best ways to experience its highlights efficiently is to fly above them in a floatplane. This tour offers firsthand birds-eye-panoramas of the natural terrain of the region, including its green forests, fiery volcanoes, oceans, lakes, and more.

Admire Aerial Views Over Rotorua

Sit back on the floatplane and enjoy a thrilling take-off from Rotorua Lake to take to the skies of New Zealand. Fly across the Pacific Ocean and exclaim at the vibrant greens of the Kaingaroa forest and national parks complimenting the many volcanoes in the region. Flow over the enormous craters and crater lakes formed by the famous Tarawera eruption in 1886.

Mount Tarawera & White Island

Revel in the sights of the mighty Mount Tarawera as the plane travels further inland over the Bay of Plenty. See the glimmering coastline before spotting the ferocious White Island, New Zealand’s only permanently active offshore volcano. Examine the steaming peaks, hot pools, and colors at Waimangu Volcanic Valley and the Lakes District on the flight back to Rotorua. On the way, count the many countryside sheep and cattle stations, kiwi orchards, and farmland plains.
