Introduction
Rotoroa Island in the Hauraki Gulf, long a rehabilitation centre, is now run by a trust and open to the public. Large areas of native forest have been restored, hosting rare birds like kiwi and kākāpō, with wetland trails and historic buildings to tour; about an hour by ferry from Auckland, it is an eco-minded island day trip.
