Can I spend longer on Rotoroa Island than the wildlife cruise allows?


In Explore Group

Yes, by choosing a dedicated island trip instead. The wildlife cruise allows about 1 hour to 2 hours 20 minutes ashore, depending on the sailing. The Rotoroa Island Ferry without the wildlife cruise allows 3 hours 35 minutes to 5 hours 50 minutes on summer sailings, giving you more time for the museum, walking tracks and beaches.
