Not everyone is aware of the awesomely amazing, active ‘geological giant’ that is White Island, but once you have heard about it, you will want to visit it, and INFLITE Charters will take you there.

 

Departing from INFLITE, Rosedale, you will take in views of Rangitoto Island and the Hauraki Gulf before heading South East via the Firth of Thames towards the Waihi Gap. Soak in views of the beautiful stretch of East Coast beaches along to Mount Maunganui and Tauranga before tracking off the coast and landing within the living, active geological giant - Whakaari (White Island).

 

Once you land at White Island, your pilot will provide you with your safety equipment and a briefing, while enjoying informative commentary from your pilot / guide while walking around this moon like crater floor. After exploring White Island, your pilot will transport you to Whakatane to land for fuel and a relaxation break. Once refreshed, you will fly on to one of the many lunch stop options including, a secluded beach picnic, Mills Reef Winery, Tauranga Airport Classic Flyers Museum or one of the many luxury central North Island lodges.

 

After dining, your pilot will transport you back to INFLITE heliport, Rosedale to complete your day. The options for the ultimate White Island day experience are as follows. Helicopter transfer to White Island, safety briefing and safety equipment. Informative commentary from your pilot at White Island. One of the many scrumptious lunch stop options. Helicopter transfer back to Auckland.

 

You can add on additional flight time over the pine forests and the spectacular Tarawera Falls, Lake Tarawera and the volcanic rift of Mount Tarawera, and this experience can be combined with a one way or return overnight package at a selection of the luxury lodges in the central North Island or further afield.
