Auckland: Tiritiri Matangi Island Ferry

Enjoy a cruise through Tikapa Moana, the Hauraki Gulf, on a premium cruise fleet as you make your way to the island sanctuary of Tiritiri Matangi. Explore the island's walking tracks, swim or snorkel at the beaches, and discover regenerating native forest and native and endangered species including kōkako, takahē, tīeke, and more.

Tiritiri Matangi Island is a pest-free island that provides a safe haven for a wide range of native species to flourish. Enjoy the time to explore the island's other established walking tracks with dramatic cliff tops, native bush, and quiet beaches. This island feels like another world all easily accessed from central Auckland or Gulf Harbour.

Tiritiri Matangi Island holds precious populations of kōkako, tīeke/saddleback, 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.

See the oldest working lighthouse in New Zealand and enjoy one of the many beautiful beaches that Tiritiri Matangi Island has to offer (remember to bring your swimwear and a towel!)
