Vulcan Helicopters

Vulcan Helicopters provide tours to the White Island active volcano.

Vulcan Helicopters' White Island Volcano Adventure takes you to the edge of a continuously active volcano, a living, breathing geological giant. Your view from high above spans the entire island; towering steam columns, bold landforms and intricate textures.

Patches of green reveal pohutukawa forest fighting to survive, the whitened points to the south and west marked by thousands of gannets - their home in the sea. Drifting down and passing slowly along the crater rim you can sense the energy of each billowing crater and steam vent. Close up, rich colours accentuate this rare environment of extreme beauty and raw energy. Landing provides the opportunity for a one hour guided walk amongst this scene from the dawn of time.
