Bookme ReviewWhite Island Tours - Cruise & Guided Tour of Volcano CraterPosted by Nicola from United Kingdom on 14 May 2019

  • Nicola said... Having studied geography at degree level many decades ago, I had never been on an active volcano. The White Island Tour finally fulfilled one of my ‘to do’ experiences and I loved it. A modern catamaran took us quickly and smoothly to the Island where we spent about an hour and a half exploring different aspects of an active marine volcano. Properly equipped with hard hats and gas masks, we were able to take our time close to the crater and understand the nature of the volcano, it’s formation and seismic activity. Guides were well informed and communicated well. We were safely guided around the Island observing different aspects past eruptions and current activity. We also observed the ruins of a sulphur mining factory, with all the challenges workers faced. Back on the boat, the Captain took us on a tour around the Island during which a picnic lunch was provided and on the way back time was taken to enjoy the company of a pod of short beaked common dolphin and grey petrels. Highly recommend this trip.
