Event Description

Home to a 150 year old lighthouse, lush coastal forest and pristine beaches, Tiritiri Matangi is a protected haven for endangered species – making the island a nature lover’s paradise. A day trip including a guided walk of approx 2 hours to learn about the history of the island, re-vegetation, native bird calls and hopefully little blue penguins, finishing at the visitor centre for a complimentary cuppa. We then have free time to explore the lighthouse and other parts of the island before catching the ferry to return to Auckland at 3.30pm. Ferry takes 75mins each way to Auckland or 20mins to Gulf Harbour. A DOC Biosecsurity check is necessary so please ensure your clothing and footwear is clean and free of soil and seeds. Food/snacks etc must be packed in plastic containers and your pack must be zipped. Rubbish must be taken home. I have checked with Fullers and there are quite a few spaces available on this date, but seats are limited. Please book online https://www.fullers.co.nz/timetables-and-fares/?from=AUCK&to=TIRI and advise me when booked.
