Booked an 1830 return trip. Was only told once on board that 1430 was the last return. Had to rush my plans. Would have planned differently had I been properly informed
The boat was good, the island beautiful but the markings of the walking tracks were very poor. I got lost for a while due to poor marking. But overall a nice experience.
Great tour made. Well arranged boat crossing and on the island we did a guided nature walk. Very nice to learn about the trees and animals on the island. We walked to the highest point and had a very nice view ever the Harauki Gulf. By the way, you can also laze on nice beaches here. Lovely day in nature away from the big city.
This was my 2nd boat trip with Explore Group and it's always a lovely day out. Really recommend the girls who run this trip are really knowledgeable and it's a beautiful journey. Both Rotoroa island and the Dolphin/Whale cruise are great ways to explore outside of the city.
What a lovely day trip of peace and quiet. Away from everyone. Ferry ride was fun -- up top was windy and cold but worth the views. While on the island you hike and run around. I ventured and only saw two people from the tour our whole time. You can do the whole island in the alloted time. I had lunch at the North Tower with the amazing view. MaiMai bay was my favorite -- quiet, hidden, not well upkept on the trail but I found it. I only wish I had gone their first and could have had lunch there with the view. Lady and Mens bay also beautiful.
this is a good trip that what i expect, it's beautiful view and lot of bay , you can eat some food in the beach an take some photos.
What an absolute privilege to be able to visit the beautiful island of Rotorua. Our ferry from Auckland was comfortable and right on schedule. Plenty of time to enjoy the island and its beaches. Take a picnic (remember to take all your rubbish off the island with you! ) and plenty of water. There is a small shop on island but it’s only open for a short amount of time and has some souvenirs and a small selection of juice/ice lollies. Would definitely recommend this trip!
What a lovely review - Rotoroa is a beautiful island and we rate so privileged to share it with visitors!
A beautiful, scenic ferry ride with comfortable seats and friendly staff. Highly recommend seeing this island, very quiet and freely :) we had a lovely day
Thanks Darla - happy to hear you had a great experience with our team, and enjoyed Rotoroa Island - it is a beautiful spot!
Short ferry ride from Auckland. Beautiful island with scenic hiking, lava caves, and a gorgeous beach. The ferry schedule allows you to choose how much time you spend on the island. I recommend you give yourself at least 6 hour as there is so much to explore.
Hi Kelli - thank you for your great review. Rotoroa is a beautiful island with so much to explore. There is something for everyone!
Boat left on time, good information on board going out to the island which was easy to understand. Good instructions on what time boat was returning
