Fly by helicopter the only active New Zealand volcano! The more adventurous can survey the bottom of the crater and observe the formations of sulfur, fumaroles and hot springs very closely. The island is private, which gives the feeling of being able to fall on the den of the villain of a James Bond at any time. As a bonus, you will get an aerial view of the volcano and Rotorua lakes.

Wanaka, the neighboring city of Queenstown, should be a MUST for your trip to New Zealand, especially if you like to joust Indiana Jones of modern times.
