I had arranged to take the White Island and Mt. Tarawera helicopter tour and had booked it months ago, when they had felt that there would be no problem finding someone to accompany me for the minimum 2-person flight. Unfortunately, they were unable to do so—not their fault, but I decided that this was something that I really wanted to... More

Went to white island via helicopter. Best way to get here. Active volcanic island. Very professional. Given gas masks as it is needed in some places. Gave it only a 3 for value as it is very expensive. I guess the cost of the heli as well as the company having to pay the private owners of the island added... More

We took Tour 4B (White Island Volcano tour) with Volcanic Air Safaris on October 24th. Initially, we had booked a boat tour to the volcano with another company, but that outfit was based out of a town 2 hours away from Rotorua by bus. To maximize our limited time, I decided to go with Volcanic, who are based straight out... More

We took a helicopter from Rotorua to White Island, which is an active volcanic island 50km off the coast of New Zealand. The entire flight and tour of White Island was spectacular. That said, for the price, approximately $765 NZD pp, we were a bit disappointed that they wanted to charge $25 for "official" photos of us with the pilot.... More

This is something I have wanted to do for years, so has now been crossed off the to do list. Thanks to all the team at Volcanic Air,... More

I went to Volcanic Air Safaris as a treat for my birthday. I did the 30 minute tour in the "otter" floatplane which shows Rotorua and the local volcanoes, mountains, etc. There are longer and shorter tours also available, with some helicopter flights as well. The reception staff were very friendly, and it happened that both of the ones I... More
