Tiritiri Matangi Island is a remote and barely populated spot of land on a face of the Ocean.

It’s lay about one hour by ferry from central Auckland.

It is “famous”, or should I say "known", as marine resort, bird sanctuary, and home land of the very first New Zealand lighthouse.

Population of the island is no more then 5-10 people who are working as park rangers and guides.

It used to be a farm for a long time and as a result of that almost entire forest, bush and other tree population was wiped out.

Now days the forest is growing back quickly, and the island has become a birds paradise.

The Ferry service can get you there every day where you will enjoy a relaxing and quite rewarding (as a photographer and naturalist explorer) experience.
