What you can expect
Unlock an extraordinary opportunity to stand atop a dormant volcano on a 40-minute Eruption Trail Helicopter Tour & Guided Walk with Volcanic Air in Rotorua. Departing from Rotorua's lakefront, this thrilling Rotorua helicopter ride offers views of the volcanic landscapes.
As you take off on this helicopter flight in Rotorua, you'll be captivated by the beauty of the region's geothermal wonders. Feel the excitement build as you approach Mount Tarawera, an iconic volcano that holds a significant place in Maori history. Then land on the mountain's summit and embark on a short guided walk around Mount Tarawera's volcanic craters and rifts.
You'll discover the rugged terrain and learn about the cataclysmic eruption that forever changed this landscape in 1886. Marvel at the remnants of the Pink and White Terraces, once considered the eighth wonder of the world, and gain insights into the cultural and geological significance of this area.
