If you're up for a bit of a ride, Cathedral Rocks on the west end is 100% worth the effort!

There’s a viewing platform where you can see long-nosed fur seals lounging on the rocks or splashing around in the water.

Know before going:

  • Great stop if you want to explore the whole island by bike

  • Decent ride from the main settlement, allow 45 mins by bike

  • Bring water and snacks, no facilities nearby

  • Go in the morning if you can, the seals are usually more active

  • Rotto is not dog-friendly

Transportation: Rotto is a car-free zone, you can move around by bike or the local bus. Some ferry providers include transportation to and from Rotto + rental bikes for an extra fee. Here's one of the best ones! Includes bikes and departs from Hillary's Boat Harbour!
