Why would you consider a helicopter tour to the White Island unless you
were coming from Rotorua. I went there by boat from Whakatane and the
trip through the gannet colony and the fish shoals with the underwater
camera added to the experience.

White Island was, incidentally, on of the highlights of my trip to New
Zealand. Go with a helicopter if you must.

Well, I've never been in a helicopter, and its a quicker trip, and I
can get some air shots with my camera. More expensive though.

Great to hear it was one of the highlights. I've climbed Mt. St.
Helens a couple of times and am somewhat the volcano lover.
