Matiu | Somes Island wharf and access


After the successful replacement of its 85-year-old wharf, Mātiu/Somes Island has reopened for visitors, in time for the summer season.
Mātiu/Somes Island, a pest-free scientific reserve, is home to many native plants, birds, reptiles and invertebrates, including tuatara, kākāriki, little blue penguins and wētā.
A scheduled ferry service for day trips runs 7 days a week.
Overnight stays will recommence in late January 2025.
