A thin blanket of clouds span the sky above the active volcano of White Island in the Bay of Plenty off the North Island of New Zealand. The billowing smoke from White Island is easy to differentiate from the clouds which linger above.
The scenery is beautiful as the volcano spews its steam from the massive crater on White Island as the boat tour pulls away heading towards home base. On the boat tour home from White Island, scan the horizon for any signs of marine life such as dolphins or whales.
The boat tour to White Island, New Zealand is a great way to enjoy the scenery in the Bay of Plenty as long as the weather and the volcano are cooperating. Any unexpected action from White Island would easily cancel the boat tour until scientists monitoring the volcano are satisfied with the outcome, as safety is always the first priority.
