Overview
This Rotoroa Island southern end walk is being offered especially for Festival participants only.

Closed to the public for nearly 100 years, Rotoroa Island is now a sanctuary for wildlife and home to endangered native species including kiwi, tīeke, takahē, and pāteke. Join Island Ecologist, Jo Ritchie, who’ll be sharing stories on the island’s restoration as you explore the southern end of the island (with the most intensive planting), including a stunning sculpture by Chris Booth.  You will also have the chance to walk the North Tower Loop Track which takes visitors across wetlands and forest offering stunning panoramic views of the Hauraki Gulf.
