When You Get There
A Department of Conservation Ranger and one or more representatives of the Supporters of Tiritiri Matangi meet all visitors arriving by the Fullers360 ferry.The tracks are either hard surface, grass, or boardwalks, with many wooden steps, so if you have a child in a pushchair be prepared to do a bit of lifting. Better still bring a backpack for your baby or toddler. Alternatively the pushchair can be put on the trailer attached to the truck and will be driven up to the Visitor Centre for you. Mountain buggies are more suitable than regular pushchairs for the majority of tracks.
Guided Walks
When you visit Tiritiri Matangi you have the option of taking a guided walk from the wharf up to the Visitor Centre (next to the lighthouse). For first-time visitors especially, this will greatly enhance your enjoyment of the Island. Guides can tell you about the plants and animals you see (and hear), about the history of the Island and how the forest has been restored. Two routes are used for guided walks. The shorter route (Wattle Track) takes about an hour to an hour and a half; the longer route (Kawerau Track) takes up to two hours, perhaps longer depending on what you see en route.
Bookings for guided walks are made with Fullers360 at the time that you book your ferry ticket - phone +64 9 367 9111. The number of guides we allocate for each trip is dependent upon the number of visitors who have booked a guided walk. So to avoid disappointment on the day, please book your guided walk prior to arriving on the Island.
