Sunny peaceful place for bird watching
We had a guided tour day on the island, that was a great day! The guide was excellent, lively and passionate (he actually lives on the island and his ancestors have owned a land here for years). The food for lunch was very good (buffet) and most important, we were able to see a lot of birds, the conservation/preservation work done in the reserve is impressive! We don't regret our money ;)

Mr Rex jones
My dad, rex jones thought the experience was great. The walk to the top of the trail for older walkers(over 70s) was really too hard for him. rex thought older people should really be cautioned on the steepness and the time at slow walking pace. Thankyou.

Everytime again
I would definitely do this trip again. The Island is great and the hosting Family is very nice! If you have the time to do it, I would recommend the overnight stay there and find some Kiwis in the wild. If you don't have the time, the day trip is wonderful too!
