Volcanic Air
Based on the shores of Lake Rotorua, Volcanic Air offers the most diverse range of scenic flights in the region. Our fleet of helicopters and floatplanes provide unbeatable views of the dramatic geothermal landscapes, volcanic wonders and crystal clear lakes district.
Our signature helicopter tours include an exclusive landing on the summit of dormant volcano Mount Tarawera, the site of New Zealand’s largest eruption in living memory in 1886. Other popular experiences include breathtaking flights over Whakaari/White Island, New Zealand’s most active volcano, a landing and self-guided walk at the stunning Orakei Korako Geothermal Park & Cave, and a floatplane adventure which includes a 90-minute soak in secluded geothermal hot pools—only accessible by water!
Each flight blends spectacular scenery with engaging commentary, offering insight into one of the world’s most geologically unique regions and the cultural heart of New Zealand.
