It was such an awesome experience to see the nature from above. Floatplane was on my bucket list and I am happy I ended up with Volcanic Air.

Great scenic flight with pilot Ben. Very smooth take off and landing. Window seats for all passengers. Scenery was absolutely magnificent. Ben assisted me into and out of plane as I have Parkinson’s disease. Very thoughtful and patient. Would highly recommend this experience.

What a fabulous experience this was! Very nice people who organise the trips, an excellent pilot - Steve - who put us all at ease and delivered an informative and entertaining commentary throughout. We had superb views of the volcanoes and the lakes and have some superb photos and memories. Thank you!

We took this tour including a visit to the secret valley. Steve the pilot elected to go to the secret valley first as the weather had some low clouds we landed at the secret valley and enjoyed the walk around the thermal park. We then returned via the Mt Tarawera Volcano which he flew around to ensure everyone got good photo opportunities. Overall a very enjoyable trip with lots of interesting information.

The flight and the scenery were incredible. Our pilot Katie gave a great commentary and looked after us so well, especially my husband who had a back injury. It was an unforgettable experience.
