Half Day Motukorea Classic

This is the perfect trip for anyone who wants an exciting and informative day on Auckland's Waitamata Harbour. Browns Island, also known as Motukorea (island of the pied oystercatcher bird), is one of the best-preserved volcanoes in the Auckland Volcanic Field. Private boats and sea kayaks are the only means of access to this untouched island, where upon arrival you will trek to the summit’s panoramic views and learn its fascinating history. There are three ancient pa sites (Maori fortified villages) on the island, with the largest occupying the slopes of the main scoria cone. Light refreshments are provided on the island before heading back to the Auckland skyline.

Includes: City pick-up and drop-off, refreshments, and all equipment including dry bags. Duration: 4 hours Departures: Daily @ 8:30am, 1:30pm.
