If you've ever wanted to hear the dawn chorus on Tiritiri Matangi Island, here's your chance!
Every spring, the Supporters of Tiritiri Matangi, in conjunction with Explore Group and the Department of Conservation, organise a special early morning ferry for visitors to experience the Tiritiri Matangi Dawn Chorus.
Spring is the very best time to visit the island for the Dawn Chorus - immerse yourself in birdsong surrounded by rare birds and native forest as the sun rises...and with a little luck you may even hear the elusive kōkako!
Includes:
- Return ferry transfers from Viaduct Harbour, Auckland or Gulf Harbour, Whangaparoa to Tiritiri Matangi Island
- 4.5 hour island stop at Tiritiri Matangi Island
- A guided walk from the wharf along the Wattle Track and through the native forest to experience the dawn chorus as the sun rises
- Tea, coffee and biscuits will be available at the visitor's centre by the lighthouse
- Please note, there is no food for sale on the island so please remember to take your own food and snacks
- Option available to spend the day and return on the 3.30pm ferry from Tiritiri Matangi Island (must be pre-booked).
