We were in Tauranga for a mini holiday over the weekend and, I have to say, I now hate Auckland. Anyway, we decided to travel down to Whakatane because we had already done Mt Maunganui and Rotorua. When we got to Whakatane, we were pretty dissapointed because quite frankly there is nothing there and the boat trip was cancelled, so we enquired about a trip to White Island and found out a good tour would drain $150 per person from our bank account. Having spent the majority of our money in Tauranga, we decided against it. I was just wondering if anybody who has been to White Island would be able to tell me if it worth the money, and the time.

Thanks in advance.
