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.
Beautiful views; Peaceful break

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.

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!

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.
