Every spring, the Supporters of Tiritiri Matangi, in conjunction with Explore Group and the Department of Conservation, organise a special early morning ferry for visitors to experience the Tiritiri Matangi Dawn Chorus.

Spring is the very best time to visit the island for the Dawn Chorus – immerse yourself in birdsong surrounded by rare birds and native forest as the sun rises…and with a little luck you may even hear the exclusive kōkako!
