Biosecurity and Conservation
Rotoroa Island is a regenerating conservation area. Over 25 species of bird life have been recorded on the island, including endangered breeding pairs. This means that visitors to the island are asked to abide by biosecurity measures to help maintain the island's current pest free status.
When you visit Rotoroa Island, please:
- Check bags for rodents, insects and other pests prior to
boarding the ferry;
- Leave your dog on board your vessel if visiting by boat as no
dogs or domestic animals are permitted as they may endanger the
island's wildlife;
- Carry food in sealed, rodent proof containers free from
insects. Ideally plastic containers;
- Bags must be sealed - no plastic bags, open top bags, or
supermarket bags;
- Check boots are clean - no soil or seeds in laces or
treads;
- Leave your bicycle at home.
Thank you for your cooperation.
