High excitement on Mt Tarawera

Heli-biking is the latest adventure option to hit the slopes of rugged Mt Tarawera. The half-day tour starts with a helicopter flight to the summit, followed by a descent down a scree slope into the main crater. After trekking across the crater floor and back up to the rim, participants take an exhilarating 10km mountain bike ride down the mountain.

Visitors are accompanied by an experienced, knowledgeable guide who explains the mountain's history and volcanic make-up. No experience is required and the tour can be tailored to the limits of individuals.
