Whakaari or White Island
This privately owned island lies some 50 km from shore. You will see the most active volcano of New Zealand if you visit this island. Constantly smoke is coming out of the crater, this does not mean it can erupt any time though. The highest point on this island is more than 300 meter. Because Whakaari is privately owned, you can only visit this amazing island by attending a tour.
