Authentic cultural scenic flights
White Island Flights invites you to an aviation experience like no other! Experience our scenic flights that go beyond the extraordinary views from the air. Ours are cultural aviation experiences that showcase the rich cultural narratives, history and manaakitanga of Aotearoa New Zealand’s most special places.
Whakaari – White Island
There’s nowhere on earth like Whakaari – White Island. Rising from the sea off Whakatāne, this living volcano is raw, powerful, and unforgettable. Experience it safely with a front-row seat to nature at its most dramatic.
Maunga (Mt) Tarawera
Set off into the sky for a memorable flight over New Zealand’s iconic volcanic region. Fly over the majestic Mt. Tarawera and then see the steam rising over geothermal Waimangu Thermal Valley, once home to the Pink and White Terraces, the seventh wonder of the world.
Maunga (Mt) Hikurangi
Fly with us on an unforgettable journey to Mt Hikurangi – a remote and sacred peak, standing tall as the highest point in the North Island. Majestic, untamed, and steeped in history, this maunga (mountain) offers views and stories unlike anywhere else in Aotearoa.
What makes us different isn’t just where we fly, it’s how we fly
We carry a sense of manaakitanga – warmth and genuine care, and a responsibility to look after the land and sea we’re privileged to fly above. For more than 25 years, White Island Flights has been proudly sharing the beauty and power of this corner of Aotearoa with people from all over the world.
