Imagine landing on an active VolcanoÂ… Well this is your chance! Fly east and take in the views of Lakes, forest and Volcanic Fault Line. Landing for approximately one-hour on White Island - the most continuously active of New Zealand's volcanoes. The island rises over 300 meters (nearly 1000 feet) above sea level but 70% of the whole structure is under the water, making it New Zealand's largest volcano. Trek up to the crater through remains of Sulphur Works, boiling water, crystallized sulphur and much more. If the option is chosen you will also land at Mount Tarawera. This volcano is made of rhyolite, a very viscous lava which does not flow easily. It has a very impressive feature - a chasm which passes through all three domes and opens up their interior, the higher parts reachable by foot. On the return flight - watch for dolphins and school fish on the surface.

A glider is an unpowered aircraft - an airplane without a motor. Gliders are amazing graceful machines and are about as close as humans can get to soaring like birds. Just imagine yourself gliding effortlessly, silently, peacefully high above the Nevada Desert, barely a sound to disturb you. First your glider, since it lacks an engine, will be towed by a tow plane to the desired altitude. Then feel the tow rope release as your glider takes to the desert thermals - columns of rising air created by the heating of the Earth's surface. Fly for approximately 30 minutes, where you will experience High G and Zero G maneuvers, wing-overs, loops, spins and stalls! The thermals keep these unique aircraft airborne (flight time may be extended if conditions permit). Without engines to disturb the silence - the only sound you'll hear is the WOOOOOSH of the wind across the wings as you perform some awesome aerobatics. The professional pilots all have more than 10 years of experience flying gliders so you can just sit back and have a good time. Please Note: Maximum body weight on this tour is 225 pounds.

Helicopter tours offer a variety of truly amazing panoramic delights, priceless memories and photographic opportunities for both around the island tours and Montserrat volcano tour. Flights can be arranged for a 45 minutes Montserrat Volcano Tour, and a 15 or 30 minutes Antigua Island Tour. A flight over Montserrat offers a very rare opportunity to witness an active volcano from a safe distance. After laying dormant for over half a century, the Soufrière Hills Volcano rumbled to life in 1995 and has been active ever since. Activity increased in 1997, with huge eruptions of lava, rocks and ash changing the face of Montserrat forever. Entire villages were engulfed by pyroclastic flows, and the southern half of the island was evacuated and is still considered an exclusion zone today. Antigua is just 13 miles across but has many coves and bays, and 365 white sand beaches - one for every day of the year! The island has warm, steady winds, a complex coastline of safe harbors, and a protective, nearly unbroken wall of coral reef. Seeing Antigua from a helicopter is a beautiful sight, one not easily forgotten.
