This island represents an amazing opportunity to see some unique native treasures. Tiritiri Matangi is rich in Māori and European history with one of the most successful community-lead conservation projects in the world.
Unwanted predators have been eradicated and rare native birds such as the saddleback, kōkako and the takahē (once thought to be extinct) survive and thrive in restored habitats within regenerating native forest.
