Mt. Tarawera’s claim to fame is its historic 1866 eruption that destroyed the recognizable Pink and White Terraces. Today, it's the center of a geothermal wonderland and a compelling attraction in its own right—take a guided tour to the mountain’s peak, or visit the many valleys and lakes carved out and altered by the 19th-century eruption.

Helicopter White Island / Mount Tarawera 'Volcanic Extremes'

Helicopter White Island / Mount Tarawera 'Volcanic Extremes'

2
Experience “Volcanic Extremes” flying over the active crater of “Whakaari” White Island before landing on the now dormant but extremely spectacular summit of Mount Tarawera. Both of these volcanoes are of significance, Whakaari more recently for the devastating 2019 eruption and Mount Tarawera for the much larger 1886 eruption considered to be the largest in New Zealand’s living memory. Different in the extreme, Whakaari is an active marine volcano and changes its activity on a daily basis while far inland Mount Tarawera stands impressively above its central North Island landscape. The mountains now dormant but no less impressive craters and domes are evidence of the massive eruption that shaped this area. Views from the Mountains summit are breathtaking, not only for the volcanoes deep craters but also for commanding vistas of the surrounding region.

Eruption Trail Tour With Natural Hot Pool Bathing

Eruption Trail Tour With Natural Hot Pool Bathing

Fly over the site of the largest eruption in New Zealand’s living memory, Mount Tarawera, and gain an appreciation of how the 1886 eruption changed this stunning landscape. From Mount Tarawera to the Waimangu Volcanic Valley, view the eruption trail and surrounding Lakes district whilst enjoying informed commentary from your experienced local pilot/guide, continuing your experience on your floatplane scenic flight, fly towards lake Rotoiti. Landing on the lake we’ll taxi to the pier where you disembark, your Eden awaiting. Only accessible by water, the hot pools are in a secluded bay on the shores of Lake Rotoiti. Seemingly disconnected from the world, this is where you’ll spend 90 minutes, with your only concerns being which pool to experience next. Take your time soaking, cool off in the lake, rest a bit on a lounger and repeat before returning to the Rotorua City Lakefront.

Best experience in Rotorua area. Best of our vacation so far.
The care taken that we were safe as well as leaning about the culture and history of the mountain. We loved our guide.

Scared, but enjoyed it
I was scared landing on the volanco and walking on the steep hills thinking I'll fall off. The pilot was nice to offer me comfort.

great activity for moderate fitness
Different rock types fascinating. Unexplained small granite samples suggesting geological history worth investigating. Sliding downslope in pebbles great fun. Guides showed professional standards by avoiding areas of severe wind gusts
