Review & FAQ:
Mokoia Island is an island that lies in the middle of Lake Rotorua and is a sanctuary to endangered birds and wildlife. The 1.35-square-kilometer uninhabited island rises to 180 meters above the lake surface and is a rhyolite lava dome that was formed over 200,000 years ago and rhyolitic magma was pushed through the crack. The island is a protected home for many of New Zealand’s endangered wildlife and rare birds and is a popular gathering spot for private functions, weddings, team-building exercises, and school field trips.
