Visit

Rotoroa Island is a unique visitor attraction in the Hauraki Gulf. As New Zealand's first and longest running addiction treatment centre, it is rich in social and spiritual history. Today it is an arts, heritage and conservation estate with beautiful beaches, bush walks and heritage buildings. Visit the island to explore all this special destination has to offer.

360 Discovery Cruises travel to Rotoroa Island from downtown Auckland. The trip takes approximately just over an hour, with a stop-off at Waiheke's Orapiu wharf on the way.

The Rotoroa Island Trust asks that visitors respect the island's heritage and drink alcohol in moderation while visiting Rotoroa.

GROUP VISITS

Large group visits should be booked through the Rotoroa team on 0800 76 86 76 to ensure there are no clashes with other groups or essential conservation work on the island. Extra facilities, and tea and coffee, may be arranged for large groups by liaising with our event manager.

SORRY! NO CAMPING OR DOGS

Please note, camping is not permitted on the island, but accommodation is now available in either one of our 4* holiday homes, or our newly opened boutique hostel.

Rotoroa Island is a conservation estate; rare native shore birds nest on Rotoroa. Because of the risk to our endangered species, no dogs are permitted on the island or its shoreline. Thanks for your cooperation.
