Visit Moutohora Island Sanctuary
Meet endangered creatures and relish secluded beaches.
Overview
Set amid the Bay of Plenty about nine kilometres from the mainland, the Moutohorā Island Sanctuary is an exceptional destination for encountering endangered birds and reptiles.
Also known as Whale Island, this speck of an oasis is home to tūturiwhatu/New Zealand dotterel, boisterous tīeke/North Island saddleback and kākāriki/red-crowned parakeet.
Plus, there's the chance to dig your own geothermal pool in the secluded sands of Onepū Bay.
