White Island - Whakaari

White Island (Whakaari) is an active volcano, situated 48 km from the coastal town, Whakatane. The island is the largest of the four islands in the Olive island chain. It is roughly circular, about two km in diameter, and rises to a height of 321 m above sea level. However this is only the peak of a much larger submarine mountain, which rises up to 1600 m above the nearby sea floor. As a result of the eruption, on-land tours of the island are prohibited. There are birds eye view tours of Whakaari / White Island available with local helicopter and plane tour guides.
