Motuarohia Island, also known as Roberton Island, is a picturesque island in the Bay of Islands, accessible by boat from Russell or Paihia. The island features two stunning beaches, one on each side of a narrow isthmus, and walking trails that lead to panoramic viewpoints. Visitors can swim, snorkel, or simply relax on the sand. The island is a wildlife refuge, so you might spot native birds and marine life. It's a peaceful escape with a sense of remoteness, yet close to the mainland.
