TUHUA (MAYOR) ISLAND

This is the jewel in Tauranga’s crown. The island has established walks, trails, amazing history and geography, lakes, fresh water and is totally NZ green, pest-free.  The Marine reserve is situated at the north of the island, and remote from the base camp at South East Bay.

Staying on the island is possible during summer between Labour Weekend and Easter (accommodation needs to be booked separately and must be booked in advance).  Accommodation options include camping and cabins (basic which has rustic appeal).
