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 more to flourish. Support the ongoing conservation programme for the island by purchasing a guided walk and your experienced guide will help you spot the native species and share more about the island’s ongoing transformation.
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 stepping back in time - easily accessed from central Auckland or Gulf Harbour.
