Overview
ItineraryThis is a typical itinerary for this productStop At: Volcanic Air, Memorial Drive Rotorua City Lakefront, Rotorua 3010 New ZealandExperience “Volcanic Extremes” flying over the active crater of “Whakaari” White Island before landing on the now dormant, but extremely spectacular summit, of Mount Tarawera. Both of these volcanoes are of significance, Whakaari more recently for thedevastating 2019 eruption and Mount Tarawera for the much larger 1886 eruption, considered to be the largest in New Zealand’s living memory. Different in the extreme, Whakaari is an active marine volcano and changes its activity on a daily basis, meanwhile far inland Mount Tarawera stands impressively above its central North Island landscape. This mountain is now dormant but is no lessimpressive: Craters and domes are evidence of the massive eruption that shaped this area. Views from the mountain’s summit are breathtaking, not only for the volcano’s deep craters, but also for commanding vistas of the surrounding region.
