Dramatic Flight to White Island Volcano

White Island is one of the most fascinating and accessible volcanoes on earth. Walking on the Island is like walking on the moon.  No vegetation survives the harsh acidic environment inside the crater. Instead lush beds of yellow and white sulphur crystals grow amongst hissing, steaming, bubbling fumaroles. The largest crater is over 100 metres deep and holds a lake (usually fluorescent green in colour) and a rumbling vent from which the power of the inner earth constantly belches forth in the form of super-heated steam.  Bright yellow sulphur chimneys comprised of delicate crystals grace the crater walls, further enhancing this alien landscape. White Island is always active, constantly steaming. Misty, roaring, ashing, rumbling, who knows what mood she’ll be in if you are lucky enough to visit…….. White Island is accessible from Rotorua by Floatplane or Helicopter.
