About Us

Welcome to FILM VOLCANIC…you made it…so come for the ride and view what we have to offer.

Breathtaking beauty surrounds us…and the secrets out, Lord of the Rings, Whale Rider and In My Fathers Den has made sure of that. Film makers can be assured of diverse locations, superior support services and lawful access as they travel through this region.
From Mountains as a backdrop, to hot water beaches, walking through craters, dappled glades beside streams to the tumbling clear water of water falls…into the redwood forests, fabulous rolling farmland, citrus vines, vineyards, mining, to the crystal waters and white sandy beaches of the South Pacific Ocean…coastlines to blow you away, rocky, mountainous, changeable and mysterious…and we have access to all this…and so can you…with a little help from some friends…
We are home to four active volcanoes, White Island, 48km off coast of Bay of Plenty and Mount Ruapehu, Mount Tongariro and Mount Ngaruahoe – all located in the central North Island.
Geothermal fields are abundant within our region – these awesome volcanic forces that shaped our land present silica terraces, unique crystalised pools, hot bubbling mud, clear hot springs and natural geyers bursting boiling water into the air. A backdrop of natural vegetation and remoteness provide opportunities within a powerful environment set to enhance any movie production.
