Set out from Otehei Bay on a one-hour guided walk into the heart of Urupukapuka Island. A knowledgeable and passionate guide will bring the island’s natural wonders and cultural history to life. Along the way, you’ll hear fascinating stories of early Māori settlement and discover the conservation efforts that have restored the Bay of Islands into a thriving, predator-free sanctuary. From rare plant life to traditional uses of native flora, your guide will reveal the hidden connections between people and land.

As you wander the island’s interior, you’ll get views of turquoise bays and vibrant coastal landscapes. You also might encounter native wildlife, including Fantail, Tūī, and Saddleback birds, echoing through the forest canopy. This tour is suitable for all ages and fitness levels, with a gentle pace and plenty of photo stops and stories.
