Overview

Te Paepae o Aotea, also known the Volkner Rocks (named after Carl Sylvius Völkner), are a group of andesitic rock stacks and pinnacles located 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) northwest of Whakaari / White Island in New Zealand's Bay of Plenty. They reach 113 metres above sea level from 400 metres below the sea floor, while the saddle separating them from Whakaari / White Island is over 200 metres deep. Te Paepae o Aotea (Volkner Rocks) Marine Reserve was established around them in 2006. The area is popular with divers due to good visibility (35–40 m), its scenery and colourful marine life. The rocks and marine reserve are accessible by boat. There are several boat ramps, boating facilities and charter boat services in Eastern Bay of Plenty.
