Part of the Taupo Volcanic Zone, White Island (or Whakaari) is one of New Zealand’s most iconic, active, volcanoes that you can visit by boat. Just off the east coast of North Island, White Island is a fascinating place to visit; you can even see volcanologists monitoring the volcano’s activity.

For a totally extra unique experience, you can also scuba dive in the waters surrounding the volcano to see what’s going on beneath the surface.
