Attractions & Activities
For a truly unique adventure the destination must be Whakaari (White Island), one of the world's few accessible live volcanoes. Located 48 kilometres off the shores of Whakatane it is accessible by boat or helicopter or opt for a scenic flight over the island. But there's also a huge range of other things to do, whether you're on a family holiday or a fishing adventure.
