Whakatane Airport Flight to White Island Volcano, Thornton 3191, New Zealand
White Island, 48 kilometres offshore from Whakatane in the Bay of Plenty, is one of the most accessible active volcanoes on earth – so accessible, in fact, that you can land a helicopter in the crater. Frontier Helicopters runs tours from Whakatane Airport that take in the steam vents, fumaroles and ashen slopes, stopping for a hike around the crater.
