Join the Supporters of Tiritiri Matangi on Saturday 30 November at their Lighthouse Open Day.
Take the opportunity to explore New Zealand's oldest working lighthouse, climb to the very top of the tower, enjoy the sweeping views across the Hauraki Gulf and discover the lighthouse's inner workings.
The Tiritiri Matangi Lighthouse Open Day is being held on Saturday 30 November in memory of Ray Walter, the last lighthouse keeper on Tiritiri Matangi Island, who sadly passed away last year.
Entry donations received on the day will assist the Supporters of Tiritiri Matangi with their ongoing conservation efforts and upkeep of the island's Maritime Museum.
Please note, visitors must be physically able to climb steep stairs and confident in confined spaces. Minimum age 7 years.
The Supporters of Tiritiri Matangi is a non-profit conservation volunteer group founded in 1988 to further the aims of the Tiritiri Matangi conservation project. When you visit Tiritiri Matangi Island you can pre-book a guided walk up to the lighthouse with one of the many knowledgeable Supporters of Tiritiri Matangi volunteers. During the walk you will hear about the island's history, learn about the conservation work that is done and spot some of the rare birds that are found on the island.
Guided walks can be booked at the time of purchasing your ferry tickets for an additional $10 Adult | $2.50 Child
