Experience Rotorua from a whole new perspective on a scenic floatplane adventure that combines breathtaking aerial views with the ultimate geothermal escape. Take in the region’s hidden crater lakes, steaming geothermal landscapes, distant volcanoes, and the iconic Mount Tarawera before continuing towards the pristine waters of Lake Rotoiti. This unforgettable journey blends the excitement of flight with the peaceful beauty of one of New Zealand’s most spectacular natural settings.

After check-in and a safety briefing, board your floatplane and soar above Rotorua’s remarkable volcanic landscape while your pilot shares fascinating insights into the area’s history and natural wonders. Enjoy a smooth water landing on Lake Rotoiti before taxiing to the pier, where you’ll step ashore at the secluded Manupirua Hot Pools. Accessible only by water, these natural geothermal pools sit in a tranquil lakeside bay, offering 90 minutes to soak in mineral-rich waters, cool off with a refreshing swim in the lake, relax on a lounger, and simply enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

What makes this experience truly special is its unique combination of scenic flight, exclusive access, and relaxation. Few adventures allow you to discover Rotorua’s volcanic beauty from the air before unwinding in hidden hot pools that feel worlds away from everyday life. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or treating yourself to something extraordinary, you’ll return to Rotorua with unforgettable views and a deep sense of relaxation.
