From above Mount Tarawera impressive views include vast volcanic rifts, distant national parks and our treasured lakes. Flying south we gain appreciation of what local Maori term the ‘Sisters of Fire’ where volcanic activity has pierced the earth surface across the fault-line forming the reserves of Waimangu and Wai-O-Tapu which, when viewed from above dismay a spectacular pallet of natures most vibrant colours. Landing at Orakei Korako, ‘the Hidden Valley’, is an amazing opportunity to experience hot sprigs, gushing geysers and the natural beauty of this geothermal wonderland.
