Taupo's Floatplane — Attraction in Waikato

We booked the full hour flight to Mt Ruapehu, and the entire experience was an incredible delight! Our pilot, Emily, was fabulous in every possible way - an expert pilot, extremely knowledgeable, helpful, considerate, kind and professional. We loved every moment of the experience, from meeting Emily at the dock to waving goodbye.

The weather was perfect, which helped of course, but Emily ensured excellent views of everything we wanted to see and gave us advance notice of each course change and photo angle.

Having walked the Tongariro Crossing the day before, the experience of seeing the mountains from above was the perfect finale.

Huge thanks to Emily.

Best Wishes -...
