    My boys had an amazing adventure! The pilot was very knowledgeable about the area and shared fun facts. They got to land at two different spots and do some hiking. It was fantastic! We were only in New Zealand for one week, so it was a great way to see lots of different areas in a short amount of time.

    This was one of the most enjoyable tours we have done on a helicopter. We landed on Mt Tarawera on the most beautiful day and you could literally see for miles. Our pilot was professional, caring, informative and fun. We then went over the beautiful countryside and saw waterfalls, thermal activity until landing at Orakei Korako. Such a beautiful area to enjoy. We never felt rushed on this tour and felt it was such good value for money. We shared seats so we all had an opportunity to enjoy the helicopter views. This is the only way to go and such a professional company.

    3h d'excursion où nous en avons pris plein les yeux... Entre survol et atterrissage sur le mont Tarawera, survol des réserves géothermiques, visite de Orakei Korako Thermal Park, survol de Waikato River et de Rotorua... Nous avons découvert des paysages à en couper le souffle vu du ciel et de la terre.
