Mt Tarawera - Flyover

earthquakes was followed a massive eruption. It buried three
villages, killed 150 people an totally detroyed the The Pink and
White Silica Terraces of Lake Rotomahana - one of New Zealand's
first tourist attractions. Mount Tarawera was split apart leaving
a rift 17kms long. HELiPRO’s
exclusive landing concession for Mount Tarawera allows access to
Rotorua’s most remarkable landmark.

powerful views of the magnificent craters and domes formed during
the largest eruption in New Zealand’s living memory. Stunning
Crater Lakes, imposing National Parks and much of Rotorua’s
renowned thermal activity also feature in this flight.

Mt
Tarawera Volcano Landing
Fly with
HELiPRO and land
on the summit of sacred Mt Tarawera, then try to comprehend the
earth forces which created this awe inspiring volcanic icon.
Standing on the summit offers unobstructed views of the volcano’s
magnificent craters, domes and our Lakes district which is beautiful
beyond belief. Complimented with informative commentary, this is
much more than a flight. It is an experience to remember.
Rotorua is situated close to the place where great tectonic plates
meet; the land has been moving here for thousands of years and
continues to do so. Deep in Tarawera Mountain the pressure builds.
This majestic mountain merely sleeps.
Come up close and see the devastation caused by the eruption of Mt
Tarawera over 100 years ago. It is perfectly safe. Scientists
measure volcanic activity, keeping an eye on the restless earth for
signs of the next eruption. Luckily, these can be easily and
accurately predicted nowadays.
