Island
This country is relatively new in geological terms and is known for its geothermal activity and volcanic activity. Whakaari or White Island is only 48km of the Whakatane coast and reknowned for its sulphuric moonscape and old mine workings as well as boiling mud and fumaroles. It’s easily accessible by boat tour, or the island can viewed from above by a plane or helicopter flight. A visit to this eerie active volcano is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
