Helicopter White Island / Mount Tarawera 'Volcanic Extremes'

Highlights

Leistungen

Ablauf

1. Experience “Volcanic Extremes” flying over the active crater of “Whakaari” White Island before landing on the now dormant, but extremely spectacular summit, of Mount Tarawera. Both of these volcanoes are of significance, Whakaari more recently for the devastating 2019 eruption and Mount Tarawera for the much larger 1886 eruption, considered to be the largest in New Zealand’s living memory. Different in the extreme, Whakaari is an active marine volcano and changes its activity on a daily basis, meanwhile far inland Mount Tarawera stands impressively above its central North Island landscape. This mountain is now dormant but is no less impressive: Craters and domes are evidence of the massive eruption that shaped this area. Views from the mountain’s summit are breathtaking, not only for the volcano’s deep craters, but also for commanding vistas of the surrounding region.

   1 Std.

2. Fly over New Zealand’s only permanently active offshore volcano, White Island and take in amazing aerial views of the island’s crater lake and ever changing volcanic activity.

About Rotorua

Rotorua is a geothermal city on New Zealand's North Island, with steaming vents, bubbling mud, a lake and a strong Māori culture.

Rotorua sits on the shore of Lake Rotorua in the centre of the North Island, a city built on a volcanic plateau where steam rises from vents in parks and by the roadside and the smell of sulphur hangs in the air. The Te Arawa people have lived here for centuries, and their culture is visible in carved meeting houses, performances and the living village of Whakarewarewa, where residents cook food in natural steam.
