Kawau Island

Kawau Island, or Te Kawau Tumaro o Toi, is one of the largest islands that make up Hauraki Bay in the north of New Zealand. A popular day trip to Kawau Island is the Mansion House Historic Reserve and Royal Mail Run Cruise. Visitors should check Mansion House opening hours to get a glimpse of this historic home inside. With plenty of walking around, large grounds, and a beautiful bay for swimming, it's the perfect spot for a day out with family and friends.

Kawau Island is a popular destination for cruises on Hauraki Bay, who are looking for a relaxing escape in nature; and bird enthusiasts. Kawau Island is known to have no access. Accommodation and attractions are accessible by the sea!

The excellent walking trails from Mansion House Bay are open to the public and are a great way to see part of the island's landscape and coastline. There are other walking paths on the island, but they are mostly unmarked and privately owned - as is the coast on a large part of the island.

Location: Hauraki Gulf, close to the north-eastern coast of the North Island, New Zealand
