If you haven't visited Tiritiri Matangi Island then you need to have this on your list for the summer!

Just over an hour from Auckland, or 25 minutes from Gulf Harbour, this beautiful island sanctuary is home to a unrivalled range of native flora and fauna and one of the most successful community-led conservation projects in the world!

You can discover the island via a variety of established walking tracks - come and immerse yourself in birdsong while meandering through native bush, take in the spectacular views from the very top of the island by New Zealand's oldest working lighthouse and be sure to finish your day of exploring with a refreshing dip down at Hobbs Beach.

And that's a wrap! Thanks to everyone that travelled with us in 2024 - happy celebrating and see you in the new year ๐Ÿ’›  ...

๐Ÿ’š KIWI RELEASE | ROTOROA ISLAND | POSTPONED ๐Ÿ’š

Sadly, the kiwi chick due to be released this weekend has developed an issue with it's eye, so Save the Kiwi have made the wise decision to keep the chick in their care for a little bit longer to monitor and provide a round of antibiotics.

We'll announce a new date for the release when we can. Watch this space!
