The birdlife on Tiritiri Matangi Island is incredible...truly one of the unspoilt gems of the Hauraki Gulf.
The ferry from the Viaduct Harbour takes about 1½ hours. Once there, we joined a two-hour guided birding walk around the island.
We spotted Bellbird, Kereru, Tui, Riflemen, Toutouwai, Fantail, Hihi and the odd Weta .
If you’re planning a visit, bring your lunch and water, there’s no food available on the island.😃
