Trip Dossier

Highlights: The Kermadec Islands are New Zealand's northern most islands. The aquatic ecosystem surrounding the islands is protected by the extensive 748,000 - hectare Kermadec Islands Marine Reserve, offering amazing diving opportunities. Because of its distance far from the main shipping routes, the Kermadec Islands are one of the more difficult places in the world to get to. This expedition probides a unique opportunity to explore the Islands and dive in the marine reserve.

Roul Island erupted in 1964 and then again in 2006. A Department of Conservation worker was killed in the last eruption. He was taking readings in the crater at the time it occurred.

"This trip was awesome, especially the diving. At one stage we had over 30 Galapagos sharks swimming around us (only 2 metres long). The food and staff were terrific."
