Embark on an 80 minute ferry ride through Tikapa Moana to Tiritiri Matangi Island, a sanctuary brimming with native bush, dramatic cliffs and quiet beaches. Explore walking tracks, swim or snorkel and spot endangered bird species in this timeless paradise.
Tiritiri Matangi Island, a timeless paradise home to some of New Zealand's rarest and most endangered birds, is just a scenic cruise away. Your full day journey begins with an 80 minute boat ride from Auckland or a quick 25 minute trip from Gulf Harbour. The cruise through the shimmering waters of Tikapa Moana sets the stage for the discoveries that await you. Once you step onto the island, explore the regenerating forests and encounter rare bird species, including the endangered kokako and takahe, thriving after being successfully reintroduced. This sanctuary is free from pests, providing a haven for native wildlife.
Wander along the scenic tracks that wind past dramatic cliffs, lush bush and secluded beaches to settle in over your four to six hours on the island teeming with natural wonders. Whether hiking, birdwatching, swimming or snorkelling, Tiritiri Matangi invites you to connect with the wilderness in its purest form. Bring along lunch to enjoy against the backdrop of stunning blue waters and discover the extraordinary natural world that is actively being preserved for generations to come.
This ferry is approximately 80 minutes from Auckland or 25 minutes from Gulf Harbour in duration.
