Mother’s Day Gift

We bought 2 tickets to fly over White & Whale Island as Mother’s Day gifts! For our beautiful 85yr old Nana and our (my) awesome Mum - they had the BEST time exploring our White & Whale Islands straight off our back door of the EBOP!!! Their smiles upon return were priceless and worth every cent and for that we’re sooo grateful to their lovely pilot (sorry I didn’t catch her name) but you definitely made their experience and 2019 Mother’s Day an unforgettable one :) xx

This tour was absolutely amazing and definitely a highlight of my whole trip. Jo was an excellent pilot and I enjoyed the flight very much. The weather looked so so when we started but it was sunny at white island and we had the most amazing views.

Wow, what an experience! George was fantastic to fly with, he was very friendly, had interesting facts about the area and it was a very smooth flight and landing! We went around White Island several times, from each direction, so everyone got to see it. The whole flight was really beautiful - thanks so much George!

Awesome flight ! Couldn't expect more !

Very good activity ! Plane is brand new, professional safety requirements, pilots are awesome and friendly ! The flight above the volcano is just unbelievable !!! Couldn't expect more. Plus, the plane has its wings above the windows, providing excellent viewings and the fact that it is small (3seats only) means that if you're two, you'll have all the chances to be on a "private" scenic flight. Definitely would recommand this tour as it is one of the best we've made so far !

A great day of memories for me personally as I am a retired NZR Loco Engineer who drove trains on the Awakeri line. Paul and his team have done a terrific job, looking after our NZ history. Recommended to everyone to take the journey.

I had the pleasure of joining the owner of Awakeri Rail Adventures for a trip during a visit to the area during October. The tour was much more interesting as you have complete control of your car unlike others rail tours I have taken with cars that are computer controlled. The tour guide - owner was super friendly and thoughtful as we stopped along the trip for an informative short trek through the bush and also for an animal feeding, as well as refreshments at another venue. The trip was really most enjoyable, and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to have an entertaining few hours.
