Overview
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 tuatara, that can’t easily be seen anywhere else around the Auckland region, so glimpsing these rare animals is a highlight for many visitors. Enjoy the time to explore the island's other established walking tracks with dramatic cliff tops, native bush and New Zealand's oldest working lighthouse! For a relaxing afternoon, opt for an easy 10-minute walk from Tiritiri wharf along the coastline to Hobbs Beach, which is the perfect spot for a picnic or a swim. This island feels like another world all easily accessed from central Auckland or Gulf Harbour. Departing from Auckland Viaduct: Wed-Fri departs 9:00am | Sat/Sun departs 8:30am Departing from Gulf Harbour (Whangaparaoa): Wed-Fri departs 9:55am | Sat/Sun departs 9:25am
