Walk 11 – Moturua Island Song sailing on the Tall Ship R Tucker Thompson
Sunday 17th
Sailing out from Russell aboard an iconic sailing vessel, R.Tucker Thomson – experience the peacefulness of travelling through the Bay of Islands on this marvellous Tall Ship. Arriving at Moturua Island you will disembark and visit a collection of beaches each with its own unique archaeological historical perspective. A beach you visit is one of the earliest known landing sites of voyaging Polynesians. Diggings have revealed a collection of artefacts dated back to approximately 1320.
Moturua was host to some early French explorers, a significant farming operation supplying milk to the mainland, a substantial defence battery and barracks, an underground network of bunkers communication and water reservoir.
Fantastic birdlife and views.
