What an amazing tour! The cruise out to the island is long but worth it. Getting so close to the vents was fascinating and we made use of the face masks! Finally a tour that ticked both adventure and learning boxes.
Also although not related to the tour, the coffee and food in the Cafe went down well!response / report this review -

A seriously good trip and tour. The crew aboard the "phoenix" were brilliant and Kelsey and Phillip who guided us around the island were fantastic. Extremely helpful, friend and knowledgeable. Beautiful weather and scenery. And all topped off with the dolphins putting on a great display. Highly recommended.

Great experience! The boat staff was helpful and kind. We didn’t realize the boat trip to the island was as long as it is—about 1:15 one way. Got a little nauseated despite the rather calm water. Would recommend motion sickness medicine if you are prone to this. You do also have to take a small inflatable from the boat to the island, which was a little scary. The tour of the island itself was very interesting. The tour guides were very kind and willing to answer questions. I would have liked a little bit more detailed information, but they did give a strong overview. The lunch at the end was a nice touch!

Lovely day out exploring the volcano. Well worth it if you can spend the money, as it is expensive. Brilliant staff in boat and at island (Sarah,Paul, Jinanyou guys were fantastic!). However, the rudeness and lack of communication skills of certain front desk staff lets the company down. Appalling experience. Would still recommend in spite of that.

We have done the tour today and are still totally stunned by it!
Saw orcas/killer whales on the way to the island and stopped for a while to watch them.
I usually don't like to take tours, but with this one I felt like the guides know what they were talking about, they seemed excited about it themselves, they did not rush us through anything at any time. And they seemed genuine and honestly interested in the tourists/their stories as well.
The provided lunch is nothing amazing, but still a lot better than I thought. We were told whatever we don't eat will be given to the pigs which I really liked as well. Plus, it came in a paper box rather than some plastic wrapping.
The tour is totally worth 200$ (and I'm a cheapskate, haha)!response / report this review -

So good. Great experience made better by amazingly helpful and friendly crew. Nice pack lunch provided too.
This is a must if you're even vaguely interested in NZ's volcanic identity.response / report this review -

The tour was amazing and so were Hayden and especially Rachel, who kindly called the AA for me and use her membership when I locked my keys in my car! She was a massive help at putting my mind at ease and Kelsey and Hayden gave an entertaining commentary on the Island.
Thanks so much guysresponse / report this review -

The white island tour was a fantastic experience, a well oiled operation with friendly staff and new boats. On the pricey side but actually excellent value for money as not only do you have the time on the island but you get a 1.5 hour boat trip to and from the island, passing other islands, great ocean scenery and the captain tries his best to find marine life. A good packed lunch is also included.
Walking inside the crater was awesome, a completely unique experience with sulphur, vents, mud pools and moon-like terrain. Knowledgeable and passionate guides safely took the small group around, sharing a lot of information about the geology and history of the island. Highly recommend, definitely book ahead as they are the only company who can take you by boat to the island, so is understandably busyresponse / report this review -

This is a popular tour - book in advance. They were sold out on the dates we wanted, so we had to adjust our travel plans and come back. Worth it.

It has been a couple of years ago when we visit White Island with PJ. It was a great experience I won't forget.

The tour isn't cheap but it's worth its money. We had great guides who teached us a lot about white island.
