CRATER LAKES FLIGHT PLUS HOT POOLS
Tour Code: 2AH
Tour Code: 2AH
Discover the best kept secret of Rotorua hot pools while also enjoying a scenic floatplane flight!
Join us to view Rotorua beyond the crater rim! Enjoy spectacular views of our hidden lakes district, distant volcanoes and local geothermal activity from above. Take in the clear waters of Lakes Okataina, Tarawera, Okareka, Rotomahana, Rotokakahi (Green Lake) and Tikitapu (Blue Lake) with the impressive Mount Tarawera serving as a backdrop. Native bush, rolling farmlands and pine forests spread out from the lake’s edges creating a magical tapestry that is sure to impress. Your pilot will provide commentary about what you are seeing, the history and the people that make this place so special.
Your pilot will extend your scenic flight to the Lake Rotoiti Hot Pools. Only accessible by water, these hot pools are nestled in a secluded bay on the shores of Lake Rotoiti making them one of Rotorua’s best kept secrets. But we want to share them with you! Seemingly disconnected from the world, you get 90 minutes at the pools with your only concern being which hot pool to experience next. Take your time soaking in each of the 7 pools, all with spectacular views of the lake. When you get too hot, either wade into the crystal clear waters of Lake Rotoiti or take the slide at the end of the jetty for a splash. Enjoy an ice cream, some hot chips and, if you are old enough, a cold beer. Rest on a lounger in the shade or take a walk up to the lookout point and head back to your favorite pool because you can.
Your pilot will give you the 10 minute warning, allowing you to use the changing rooms before reboarding your waiting floatplane for a 6 minute direct flight back to the Rotorua City Lakefront by way of the Ohau Channel and Mokoia Island.
