Tiri, as this island is known locally, is a conservation success story. It has been entirely cleared of predators and reforested with native trees. For the many endangered birds that live here, it’s a safe and secure home. Visitors to the island can hope to see or hear rare species such as takahe, kokako, little spotted kiwi, stitchbird and brown teal. The island’s lighthouse, built in 1864, is open to the public. There are regular ferry services to Tiri from Auckland and Gulf Harbour. An information centre and shop is located near the lighthouse, selling cold drinks and souvenirs. You’re advised to bring your own food, good walking shoes, binoculars and a camera.
Functional facts: No population, ferry service, toilet facilities.
