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

Amazing experience, it was a fun and comfortable flight out to white island with Joanna and Holly , we loved every second of it!. We would highly recommend white island flights, great service an unforgettable experience, hope to be back in the near future. All the very best, Jade and Zain

Amazing flight and amazing views!

Incredible experience. Joanna our pilot was awesome and we had the most beautiful day to fly in. The volcano was so awesome to see. Would highly recommend this trip with Joanna - a must do experience!!

Went on the scenic flight tour of whale and white islands today after not great weather yesterday. Absolutely loved our trip, the views are breathtaking and white island particularly is very special. Jo was our pilot and guide and she was amazing, flew perfectly and was informative and friendly. I would happily recommend this trip to anyone.

This was our first ever small flight and Jo was an amazing pilot! Very knowledgeable and super friendly and chatty. It was stunning seeing White and Whale island from an aerial view and flying over the Ohope Bay. Highly recommend! You will be able to watch our experience on our YouTube channel soon! Dan n Kirsty

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.

What an awesome experience highly recommended staff were very polite and the pilot was informative about the area great day out

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!

Very long and smooth flight. The pilot was friendly and professional. The white island is just amazing. Thanks bookme for this offer!

Great afternoon flying over Mt Tararewa & White Island, truly beautiful sights and scenery , the pilot was friendly and informative highly recommend everyone takes this scenic flight of opportunity arises well worth the money

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 !

Really loved the experience. Great guide.

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.

Lots of fun, feeding the chooks, the bush walk and the cuppa, all stops along the way. Self drive the carts. very informative and low key. great for families also.

Well set up and organised - not spectacular scenery but not many railways are! Patrick the guide was very relaxed but professional.

Fantastic trip with Paul, a very pleasant and knowledgable man. Loved the ride and the forest walk.

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.

Super activity to do with the grandkids or without them! Paul is an awesome tour guide, engineer, health & safety officer, tea maker and entertainer!!

Excellent trip ...walk through the bush so enjoyable with Paul’s knowledge and humour making the excursion a real experience. Great for all ages ...driving the rail carts a real novelty ....highly recommend doing.
