The gem of the Hauraki Gulf. A short ferry ride from Gulf Harbour ferry terminal at the end of Whangaparoa Peninsula. The fast-moving Tiri channel forms a watery barrier for predators, and the 22 hectare island is large enough to provide a sanctuary for a range of wildlife. The birdlife is wonderful and the vistas of the surrounding harbour and the island itself as you explore the walks make for a memorable day.
