First-time visitors to the Bay of Plenty shouldn't miss out on experiencing 200 million year -old White Island. White Island is an active volcano, a towering alien landscape rising from the ocean floor, off the Bay of Plenty coastline. Join Peejay Tours to visit this sleeping giant of the sea. Board a boat and begin the beautiful cruise out to the volcano. Passengers often see dolphins and other marine life along the way. As you land at White Island, you'll don a gas mask and begin the tour. In this almost moon-like landscape, you'll see volcanic crater lakes, steam rising from the volcano's core, luminous yellow sulphur, tragic mining relics, peculiar rock formations, steaming thermal streams, flora and fauna that survive here and much more. You'll also learn about the fascinating physical and human history of the island.
