WHITE ISLAND SHUTTLE

Begin your White Island MARINE VOLCANO adventure in Rotorua.

Climb aboard the White Island Shuttle for a scenic drive to the Whakatane Wharf where you will board PeeJay for a day trip to White Island – New Zealand’s only LIVE marine volcano!

SCHEDULE

The White Island Shuttles run Monday to Saturday (and Sundays by arrangement) to meet with the 9.15am White Island Tour departure. 

The White Island Tour is weather dependant and the shuttle will only be operating when the tour goes ahead.  When making a booking, we will require a contact phone number as we will need to confirm the weather conditions with you.  We will need to speak with you between 7 and 8pm the evening before.  BOOKINGS ARE ESSENTIAL.
