Imagine landing on an active Volcano…
Well this is your chance! Fly east and take in the views of Lakes, forest and Volcanic Fault Line. Landing for approximately one-hour on White Island - the most continuously active of New Zealand's volcanoes.
The island rises over 300 meters (nearly 1000 feet) above sea level but 70% of the whole structure is under the water, making it New Zealand's largest volcano. Trek up to the crater through remains of Sulphur Works, boiling water, crystallized sulphur and much more.
If the option is chosen you will also land at Mount Tarawera. This volcano is made of rhyolite, a very viscous lava which does not flow easily. It has a very impressive feature - a chasm which passes through all three domes and opens up their interior, the higher parts reachable by foot.
On the return flight - watch for dolphins and school fish on the surface.
