 A ferry is run to provide a service to Tiritiri Matangi, enabling people to enjoy a day trip to walk the island's tracks and listen to its birds. Guided walks are available. There is no food available for purchase on the island, so you must bring your own supplies. Cold drinks can be purchased from the shop and complimentary tea/coffee is supplied by the Supporters of Tiritiri Matangi and Dilmah.Please also remember to bring suitable clothing for the weather conditions on the day, togs and towel, sun-block and hat, raincoat, camera and binoculars! Mountain buggies are more suitable than regular pushchairs for the majority of the tracks. The tracks are either hard surface, grass, or boardwalks, with many wooden steps. If bringing a pushchair be prepared to do a bit of lifting. The pushchair can be put on the utility truck and driven up to the lighthouse for you if you wish to carry baby in a back/front pack and collect the pushchair on completion of your walk.
