    Well-crafted multi-faceted experience!

    Informative, interesting, comfortable tour with top-notch pilot, Tim, who garnered much respect in our group. Walking in thermal “park” was awe-inspiring, good exercise, and nicely board-walked. Could do as little or as much (up to 1 hour) as desired in park. Well-designed tour as we accomplished a lot in a short time. Bravo, Tim!
    Outstanding experience - staff, tour, flight - all first class!

    The entire tour was great from the communication with Alice in the office to our pilot Brian, Volcanic Air is a first-class organization. The landing and tour at Orakei Korako Thermal Area was stunning and of course the landing at MT Tarawera was one of the highlights of our 3.5 week tour of New Zealand. Brian was professional, informative and a great pilot. He made sure we had great views and perfect camera angles. Even with winds above the mountain, his landing was smooth. This tour was well worth the price - great value!
