Getting There
Visitors are welcome to Motuora. There are walking tracks and several sandy beaches with safe swimming. However there is no public ferry to Motuora and no wharf on the island. To get to the island you can join us on one of the regular working trips, or visit using your own craft or water taxi
from Sandspit (near Warkworth).
Preparation before visiting:
• Check your boat or kayak and gear for insects or rodent stowaways.
• Clean your footwear, clothing and gear and check for seeds- weeds are a problem on the island.
• Leave behind your pets- pets are not allowed on Motuora as they are a threat to native birds like the kiwi.
• If camping, bring gas burners for cooking -there is a complete fire ban on the island.
