About Motutapu Island
Motutapu is quite an old landmass in the Hauraki Gulf. It was rigorously populated by Maori, held huge Victorian picnic gatherings, and was a base during WWll. The island has experienced an interesting life and today, it stands as a great spot to see indigenous birds, along with the rare and beautiful tieke.
If you are looking to go for an adventure hike, the place has a lot of walking tracks, you can also travel towards Rangitoto, due to the short pedestrian bridge that links the islands built during WWll.
