Beautiful trip with views all around

Published on Feb, 2025

A fantastic experience, Ian our pilot was very informative and friendly. We were lucky with the weather and great views all around. It was great to be able to land and then walk to the top of Mount Tarawera.

Unforgettable awesome experience

Published on Dec, 2024

The pilot was so great. He didn't rush us at all and the experience was 5 star. It is a memory I will never forget. Unforgettable the whole experience and the pilot going at a speed we could really take in all the scenery and his interaction and manner with us all was top class!!!!!!!!! Absolutely recommend this trip!!!!!!!!

The Power of Mother Nature

Published on May, 2024

Our pilot Scott was very professional made all passengers fell safe. I would go again in a Heartbeat. To see what the Power of steam can do is truly amazing. New Zealand has so much to offer and this tour is like icing on a cake.

What an awesome experience flying with Volcanic Air!

Published on Oct, 2023

Wow! What an awesome experience to see the landscape of Rotorua from high above the helicopter, flying over the geothermal parks, forest and the many surrounding lakes before the birds eye view of Mt Tarawera site. Volcanic Air Safaris delivered a very high standard of comfort and ease to visit this mountain that erupted some 138 years ago. I was mesmerized with the beauty of the surrounding landscapes when we landed on the mountain top. The pilot took us on a short walk to the peak point and gave us very good account of the history of the mountain and the lakes. I can highly recommend this tour, a bucket list must do while you are in Rotorua. Thank you for an amazing experience.

Mount Tarawera Adventure

Published on Jan, 2023

The sights of Rotorua were spectacular from the helicopter. Our pilot Suk was knowledgeable and shared information about the area and the geographical features. Our flight included views of the crater lakes, the Tarawera Falls and the geothermal reserves. We landed onto Mount Tarawera and began the walk along the path to the top, the views were breathtaking. My husband suffered a moment of anxiety, however Suk calmly encouraged him to proceed and he was so glad he did. Thank you Suk for making our experience a memorable one!
