Ben (our pilot) was fantastic! He was so enthusiastic about the flight and did a great job providing information about what we were seeing along the way. This was a fantastic and unique tour - we got lucky and even got to see the volcano erupting! Would definitely recommend for anyone interested in the White Island.

Steve, our pilot was amazing, knowledgeable and so keen to give us the best experience. He ensured we all got great views, turning the plane around time and again so we could each get that amazing picture. He shared his flying experiences with us that made the flight over the water so interesting, and looked out for whales and dolphins for us (regrettably there weren’t any). We would highly recommend this flight as the geological contrast between White Island and Mount Tarawera was surprising in both colour and shape and was fully appreciated from the air. Seeing the craters, lakes and geothermal activity was exceptional because of the colours and enhanced by Steve’s commentary.
