Get a taste of Taupo's highlights from birds-eye view during this magical scenic helicopter flight. Soar above iconic landmarks like New Zealand's largest lake, the volcanoes of Tongariro National Park, Huka Falls and the Maori Rock Carvings.
Lifting off from Taupo airport, this scenic helicopter flight sees you fly over the magnificent Mt Tauhara, where astonishing views of the region can be found in every direction. To the south, you'll witness the vibrant greens and blues of New Zealand's largest lake, Great Lake Taupo, the immense crater-topped volcanoes of the World Heritage Tongariro National Park and the remote Kaimanawa Ranges. To the north, views extend as far as Mt Tarawera. Continue flying over the incredible Huka Falls and the Wairakei Geothermal fields, and get up close to the iconic Maori Rock Carvings, before looping back over the crystal clear waters of Lake Taupo. Spectacular photo opportunities are aplenty throughout the flight.

We want you to have the most enriching experience possible, so if this means swapping your jet boat experience for wine tasting then we’ve got you covered. Simply exchange online or contact our Customer Experience Team and we’ll do the work for you.
Not only do we handpick the best experiences for you, we also guarantee you’ll pay the same as you would buying direct from the experience provider. If you find the same experience advertised at a lower standard price on the same day by the same provider, simply take a screenshot of the experience advertised at the lower price and tell us within 30 days of your purchase and we’ll match it.
We understand life gets busy, which is why all vouchers and gift cards purchased have a 5-year expiry. The only exception to our expiry terms is if the experience has already been booked in. We honour the purchase price of our experiences for 18 months. If you book your experience after this time and the price of the experience increases you can either pay the difference or exchange it for another experience free of charge.
We know the trust consumers place in ratings and reviews is tied directly to authenticity. That’s why we use Bazaarvoice. We believe that reviews should represent the genuine, unbiased, and transparent opinion about the author’s experience with a product or service. Reviews are not altered in any way by anyone other than the original author — including corrections for spelling or grammar. Reviews are not filtered, edited, or deleted simply because they are negative or are lower-rated.
