Enjoy a cruise through Tikapa Moana - the Hauraki Gulf on our premium cruise fleet as we make our way to island sanctuary Tiritiri Matangi.
This pest-free island provides a safe haven for a wide range of native species including kōkako, takahē, tīeke and tuatara, that can’t easily be seen anywhere else around the Auckland region, so glimpsing these rare animals is a highlight for many visitors.
Enjoy the time to explore the island's other established walking tracks with dramatic cliff tops, native bush and New Zealand's oldest working lighthouse! For a relaxing afternoon, opt for an easy 10-minute walk from Tiritiri wharf along the coastline to Hobbs Beach, which is the perfect spot for a picnic or a swim.
This island feels like another world all easily accessed from central Auckland or Gulf Harbour.

It was fantastic experience of Tiritiri Matangi Island. Traveling to Island and return was really nice. Lot's of Birds feeding stations at Island to watch beautiful Birds species and their natural sound. Its worth the money.

Slow walk the trails so you can see as many different birds as possible. Our family really enjoyed it.

I was able to join a good tour that was very interesting for me. The weather was very concerning, but it was comforting to see so many birds from Santorum. You will meet many endemic species of New Zealand. You can enjoy the relaxing nature. I highly recommend everyone to join us on 45.

From the lovely staff to the super clean boat, to the helpful friendly guides, a really good day out. The island is absolutely beautiful and the wildlife abundant. Neil, our guide was informative and friendly. My only suggestion would be to stay overnight if you can, because one day trip just isn’t long enough to see everything. A cracking spot and pretty good value for money. Oh and don’t forget your packed lunch :)

I arrived at the ticket counter to Find out that Viator had not turned in my name to the tour and it was full. I had to go find another tour to take and I did not use Viator. Very disappointed.

A great experience on Tiritiri Matanga! I got a tour with Toni, and she was very informative about the island, its history, and all of the birds and critters. And there was plenty of time to walk around and explore after. The ferry was easy, and there were some snacks and drinks available for purchase for anyone who needed something.

Oh my goodness TAKE THE TRIP!!!!! so so so glad we went it was incredible! DEFINITELY book the guided tour! We were lucky enough to be paired with Malcolm and it was incredible. I'm so thankful to the ppl who reviewed and recommended the guided tour. We definitely wouldn't have learned as much exploring on our own. We saw so many incredible birds, insects, trees and plants. Tiri Matangi is a magical place!

It was an amazing experience. If it’s rainy the grounds are muddy. Come prepared. It could be cold but up at the gift shop they have second hand clothes that are clean and are free to wear to keep you warm. The ride over was in rough water but never did we feel unsafe. All the volunteer's help with suggestions on direction and the different hikes you can take! Seeing the birds was awesome!
