Fish the Edge of Fire at White Island, New Zealand

White Island—also known as Whakaari—is one of New Zealand’s most dramatic and unique fishing destinations. Rising out of the Pacific like a smoking sentinel, this active volcanic island creates an underwater environment unlike anywhere else in the country, with steep drop-offs, powerful currents, and nutrient-rich waters that attract serious fish.

The fishing here is exceptional and diverse. Giant kingfish patrol the pins and reefs, while snapper, hapuku, bass, bluenose, and pelagic species such as tuna and marlin move through the surrounding deep water. Whether you’re jigging, live-baiting, or bottom fishing, every strike comes with raw power and unforgettable intensity.

Combine world-class fishing with the surreal backdrop of a steaming volcano, clear blue water, and the thrill of fishing a truly iconic location, and you have an experience that goes far beyond the catch.

White Island fishing is not just an adventure — it’s fishing on the edge of nature itself.
