We had a trip over the volcano and then landed at Hells gate. It was a spectacular journey on a sunny day. There was only the 2 of us so great views. The helicopter trip was late starting so they gave us some coloured photos of us by the helicopter a very nice gesture.

We took a 15 minute helicopter flight out over Rotorua to Blue Lake and Green Lake, flying over nearby forest covered mountains. The pilot was knowledgeable and friendly. While not cheap (about $195 NZD each), we were able to arrange a flight at less than an hours notice. The morning was wet and cloudy so we decided to wait until... More

My friend and I took at float plane trip on a Saturday morning. We went up in the bigger float plane, carrying I think 10 passengers. My friend was lucky enough to sit by the pilot! We flew over various lakes and geothermal areas, with knowledgable commentary from the pilot. We were unable to fly over top of Mount Tarawera... More

This was a personal helicopter trip to and guided tour of the crater of the White Island volcano, the only really active volcano in NZ. My wife and I, and the pilot/guide were the only people on the island for nearly an hour (until the next helicopter arrived). The experience was too overwhelming for words - it was truly the... More

What a great tour! It's the best way to see Lake Rotorua and Mt Tarawera as well as the surrounding area. We went up in the refurbished 1954 DHC Otter Float Plane where every seat is a window seat and what a trip..... The views were spectacular, the aircraft was large and felt very safe and there is something extra... More

I had arranged to take the White Island and Mt. Tarawera helicopter tour and had booked it months ago, when they had felt that there would be no problem finding someone to accompany me for the minimum 2-person flight. Unfortunately, they were unable to do so—not their fault, but I decided that this was something that I really wanted to... More

I recommend this service to any visitors to Rotorua. This company provided courteous, professional service combined with a sense of adventure and fun. Viewing the region from the air gives a brilliant perspective. Regards, Craig Spence

Went to white island via helicopter. Best way to get here. Active volcanic island. Very professional. Given gas masks as it is needed in some places. Gave it only a 3 for value as it is very expensive. I guess the cost of the heli as well as the company having to pay the private owners of the island added... More

We took Tour 4B (White Island Volcano tour) with Volcanic Air Safaris on October 24th. Initially, we had booked a boat tour to the volcano with another company, but that outfit was based out of a town 2 hours away from Rotorua by bus. To maximize our limited time, I decided to go with Volcanic, who are based straight out... More
