Highlight of the North Island!

Published on Feb, 2025

We did the Tarawera Falls Volcanic Heli Hike which involved a landing at the top Mount Tarawera then being dropped off below for a ~6 mile hike to Tarawera Falls and being picked up by boat for our return. This was a great adventure. A perfect blend of heli tour and hiking. Our pilot was fantastic — she gave us a great ride and view of the volcanos, and answered all our questions about the area. Our hike to the falls was a highlight of our trip. We did not see a soul on the trail and spent half our time jumping in the crystal clear pools along the river. If you plan on going all the way to the falls, prepare to hustle; it takes a bit of time to go there and back before the boat comes!

Unforgettable amazing experience

Great view, nice and experienced pilot, stunning sceneries. You started right from helicopter pad on the lake, then fast, but confident launch. Big windows and enough time for photos

One of the kind

The pilot was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the trip very enjoyable. He took photos of us at the top and told us all about the volcanic activity and landmarks in the area. The views were breathtaking. We had an amazing time. This was definitely a highlight of our trip.
