Mount Tarawera + Rotorua Lakes Scenic Flight

Take off from Tauranga on a spectacular scenic flight into the heart of New Zealand volcanic landscape. This unforgettable aerial journey reveals the natural beauty of the Rotorua region, where shimmering crater lakes, dense native forests, and dramatic volcanic formations create a truly unique panorama. Ideal for visitors short on time, the flight offers a remarkable overview of the geothermal heartland without the need for long road journeys.

After departure, enjoy sweeping views of Tauranga Harbour and Mount Maunganui before flying inland across rolling farmland toward the Rotorua Lakes District. From the air, admire the striking blue waters of Lakes Rotorua, Rotoiti, Tarawera, and Okataina, each surrounded by lush forest and rich cultural heritage. The highlight is Mount Tarawera, famous for its powerful 1886 eruption. Fly over its vast rift and crater system and witness the dramatic scars left behind. On clear days, distant volcanoes of the Central Plateau may also appear, completing this breathtaking scenic experience.
