Lots depends on how you define a volcano, if you include sea mounts (Volcanoes under the ocean) as well as dormant and extinct ones then the number is quite high. If your just looking at active or at least semi active volcanoes e.g erupted last 1000 years then there are about 18(including Sea mounts). In Auckland alone there are 49 volcanoes some of these are dormant (Rangitoto) while others are extinct. All up theres about 114 volcanoes in NZ however some of these are millions of years old (some older than 16 million years old)

there are 78 volcanoes in the north island and Auckland has 46 volcanoes which is over half of the amount

There are many volcanoes in the north island. Maybe too many to count. Around Auckland there are 50 volcanoes.

Then there are Taranaki, Ruapehu, Tongariro, Ngaruahoe, Tarawera, Taupo, Rotorua and so on.

Look at related links below to see a list of NI volcanoes.

Is White Island the only valcanic island in New Zealand?

White Island is the only active volcanic island in New Zealand, however there are many dormant or extinct cones along the coastline. Some of the more well known volcanic islands include Mayor Island in the Bay of Plenty, and Rangitoto Island, in the Auckland harbour. Both volcanos are classed as dormant, however, as Rangitoto is in a volcanic field, it is unlikely that it would erupt again, instead a new vent would open nearby.
