Moutohorā (Whale Island) lies about 8 km off the Bay of Plenty coast, rising to 353 m above sea level. The small island is the remains of a complex volcano that has eroded over time, leaving two distinct peaks. Travel to the island with our volcano chemistry team while they undertake a soil gas survey and sample the fumaroles (gas vents) and hot springs.
