Bird Spotting

Predator free since 2014, Rotoroa Island is now home to a wide range of New Zealand native birds.

Scenic Walks

Explore our network of coastal and forest trails that wind through restored native bush, spot native birds, and discover an island transformed by conservation.

Relax

Unwind on pristine sandy shores, take a dip in the gulf, and soak in the peace of our secluded beaches.

Combo Cruises

Explore Rotoroa Island with Explore Group and combine it with a wine tasting at Man O' War Vineyard on Waiheke, or a Whale & Dolphin Cruise through the Hauraki Gulf.

Adventure

Dive into the waters around Rotoroa with snorkelling and swimming, try your hand at fishing, or get active exploring the island's hidden corners.

Heritage & Art

Discover Rotoroa's rich past through historic buildings, visit the cemetery, explore our museum, and encounter art installations and sculptures scattered across the island.
