We are delighted to feature a thrilling adventure by one of our all-time favorite online crushes: The Professional Hobo, Nora Dunn, who has been sharing her recent enthralling expeditions in New Zealand and Australia through her popular travel blog. If you are planning a New Zealand tour anytime soon, make sure to visit Nora’s blog and get first-hand information on how to make the most out of your trip by reading Nora’s travel experiences in the "Land of the Long White Cloud". Nora’s travel stories offer every reason to plan a New Zealand vacation right away and feel excited with the anticipation! Get ready to experience a journey of a lifetime, as Nora narrates her unforgettable adventure at the most active volcanic site in New Zealand- White Island in her following story:
50kms off the coast of New Zealand in the Bay of Plenty exists a living, breathing, steaming, venting, bubbling, heaving entity called White Island: New Zealand’s most active volcanic site. To walk on its shores gives you a true feeling for the earth’s power, and a humbling sense of mortality to go with it.I was lucky enough to be one of those mortals.
Volcanic Air Safaris was our host for the afternoon, and after our helicopter briefing (and removing one of the doors so our cameraman could shoot – footage, not bullets – out the ensuing gaping hole in the side of the helicopter), we were lifting off.
Riding in a helicopter is an amazing experience unto itself. The almost noise-canceling headsets do wonders for saving eardrums and enabling conversation, and as soon as the props are rotating, lifting off seems so natural. It’s like the helicopter is a light as a feather, and not the few thousand pounds it really is.
