White Island is New Zealand's most active marine volcano with eruptions as early as 2013 and 2000, but is deemed safe enough to trek. The ride to the island is itself pretty enjoyable with visitors having the option to hop on a boat or helicopter. The helicopter ride is highly recommended as the entire volcano, its crater and the lake can be best viewed from air.
