Fly on a helicopter and land on the summit of sacred Mt Tarawera, then try to comprehend the earth forces which created this awe inspiring volcanic icon. Standing on the summit offers unobstructed views of the volcano’s magnificent craters, domes and our Lakes district which is beautiful beyond belief. Complimented with informative commentary, this is much more than a flight. It is an experience to remember.
Rotorua is situated close to the place where great tectonic plates meet; the land has been moving here for thousands of years and continues to do so. Deep in Tarawera Mountain the pressure builds. This majestic mountain merely sleeps.
Come up close and see the devastation caused by the eruption of Mt Tarawera over 100 years ago. It is perfectly safe. Scientists measure volcanic activity, keeping an eye on the restless earth for signs of the next eruption. Luckily, these can be easily and accurately predicted nowadays.
