We were lucky enough to go over to Tiritiri Matangi Island for the long weekend.
We caught the ferry over on Saturday morning, stayed two nights in the DOC bunkhouse with Mike’s family and their family friends, and then caught the ferry back home again on Monday afternoon.
The scenery is absolutely gorgeous on the island. There are heaps of tracks to explore, lots of native birds to see, beautiful beaches to swim at, a wharf to fish and jump off, kiwis to spot at night time and penguins to spy on in their burrows.

We were pretty tired (and a tad sunburnt) by the time we left on Monday, we but we had an awesome weekend and I would love to go back someday.
If you haven’t been yet, I highly recommend that you do!
