Description:

Explore the charming landscaped surroundings of Mokoia Island and Mount Tarawera and learn about their cultural significance and history. View the Waimangu Thermal Valley in all its glory and the vibrant Inferno Crater alongside Frying Pan Lake.

Leave the city behind and experience the thrill of riding a floatplane as you head toward the mystical Mokoia Island, source of New Zealand’s very own Romeo and Juliet legend. Pass by the hidden lakes district and the volcanic peaks of Mount Tarawera, towering at 3,680 feet (1,121 m). Marvel at the breathtaking views of the focal mountain surrounded by charming lakes.

Enjoy your one-of-a-kind experience inside a floatplane as you view the cavernous craters of Inferno Crater from above Mt. Tarawera—living proof of the largest eruption in New Zealand’s memory. Glimpse the steamy Frying Pan Lake, formed as a result of Tarawer’s eruption; gorgeous mist rolls across its surface constantly.
