Bay of Islands Walking Weekend

Walk 21 – The Island Hop (Urupukapuka and Motuarohia Islands)

Saturday 16th
Sunday 17th`

Travelling by launch out to Urupukapuka Island. Hike for a couple of hours on Urupukapuka Island – getting dropped off at a Bay and walking across the island to Otehei Bay. Urupukapuka Island is the largest island in the Bay of Islands and is a slice of paradise well worth exploring. As well as boasting some of the most spectacular panoramic views and gorgeous beaches with crystal clear water there are dozens of pristinely preserved archaeological sites on the island, some of which may be up to 1000 years old. From prehistoric Māori pā, villages, gardens, and food storage, right up to early 20th Century buildings used by famous author Zane Grey.

Our island hop is stopping at Motuarohia (Roberton) Island on the way home to Russell to climb to the centre of the island for spectacular 360-degree views of the surrounding Bay of Islands – this is 350 metres and a 15 minute walk.
