For an adventure you’ll never forget head straight for White Island (Whakaari) – New Zealand’s only live marine volcano. If you join White Island Tours with Pee Jay, you’ll get an in-depth insight into what makes this ancient volcanic island tick. And it’s impressive. There may not be any vegetation to speak of, but you get all those fabulous volcanic colours that I love – deep slate greys, sulphurous yellow (in fields of sulphur crystals), bright oranges, russet browns – they’re all there amid the steaming, the hissing and the bubbling.
