We got up-close and personal with the three volcano’s at the southern end of Lake Taupo. The round trip flight in a single engine Cessna 206 obviously takes off and lands on Lake Taupo and the flight lasted 90 minutes climbing to around 10,000 feet which allowed the most fantastic view into the crater lakes. A bit expensive but never... More

An excellent 10 minute taster from Neil. Thank you More

thank you Neil for the day, Neil picked up Eddie, over his shoulders and threw him into the plane... Eddie who is in a wheel chair had no issues getting into the plane with Neils help. We had room for the chair, which fitted nicely in the back and then enjoyed the trip over Lake Taupo. If you have any... More

We took the hour-long flight from Taupo over the mountains of the central plateau. Having skied and hiked around the area, it was great to get a different perspective. The plane was small (about a 6-seater I think) but I always felt safe and the pilot was friendly with good knowledge of the area. The flight was about $300 per... More
