Up, up and away! Take off directly from the water on a wonderfully scenic seaplane adventure!

This is our most popular scenic flight taking in the geothermal highlights of this unique city by seaplane. Your journey begins on Lake Rotorua, travelling over the city and its glistening crater lakes district, flying over Mt Tarawera to marvel at the destruction caused by its massive 1886 eruption. Your informative pilot will give you a full running commentary about this fascinating area, its geographical features and the cultural significance to its indigenous Maori people. Enjoy spectacular aerial views of the steaming cliffs and boiling lakes of Waimangu Volcanic Valley and beyond to the lush bushland of the surrounding Bay of Plenty region. The volcanic flight path back to base takes you over Rotorua’s pretty Blue and Green Lakes and over the explosive geysers of Rotorua’s geothermal reserves then in to land on the waters of Lake Rotorua. Volcanic Air Safari’s seaplane tour is the best way to truly appreciate the natural wonders of this fascinating region.
