The Fullers360 Auckland to Rotoroa return ferry is currently taking a break from its scheduled services. In the meantime, on the 23rd August, our friends at Rotoroa Island are hosting a new released Takahe.

We hope to be back cruising regularly to this incredible part of the Hauraki Gulf shortly, please check back in with us soon.
Explore Rotoroa Island with a guided walk by the Rotoroa Rangers. Your guide will lead you as you walk among the regenerating native forest, with plenty of wildlife, lookout points and beaches along the way.

Level of fitness
A reasonable level of fitness is required. Walking tracks are either hard surface, grass, or boardwalks, with many wooden steps. We recommend wearing sturdy shoes.
If you have a child in a pushchair, please be prepared for some lifting. Mountain buggies are more suitable than regular pushchairs for the majority of tracks. Alternatively, we recommend travelling with a baby/toddler backpack.
