White Island and Ohope Flights out of Whakatane Airport

Take an amazing flight over White Island, a local scenic flight over Ohope Beach or both at the same time.

White Island flights operate out of Whakatane airport and are known for having some of the tidiest scenic charter aircraft operating in New Zealand. Fun, safe and knowledgeable. We use the popular high wing Cessna 172 for our scenic flights, meaning you get a great view of the landscape.

See more of our beautiful coastline, farmlands and beaches when you fly with us. Once over White Island, you'll be awed by the alien landscape and power of this rumbling giant.

White Island is very much an Island of fire & steam located fifty kilometres north of Whakatane in the deep blue Pacific Ocean. Known by Maori as Whakaari meaning a display or spectacular view. White Island was given its English name by Captain James Cook, who first saw its white steam in 1769.

A scenic flight over Ohiwa Harbour and the Ohope Beach is wonderful for locals and visitors alike. You will appreciate how the tide and the sea has shaped the harbour and the coastline. Maybe you will spot some stingrays basking in the harbour and the kids love to see their homes and camps from the air.

A White Island or Ohope scenic flight is a spectacular gift for family and friends, especially your overseas visitors. Scenic flights over amazing Mount Tarawera and the beaufiful mountains of the central plateau are also available.

We can also cater for professional aerial photography. Vertical (direct down) and oblique shots of developments, farms and homes. For mapping and marketing purposes. Contact us for charter and photography prices.
