Motuihe Restoration is a conservation project run in partnership between Motuihe Trust and the Department of Conservation (DOC) to transform Motuihe Island into an authentic natural environment of beaches, native forests, wetlands and open spaces together with rare and endangered native birds and insects. Since 2000 there has been a regeneration and restoration programme to re-establish native flora and fauna.
Motuihe Island is accessible via public ferry or private vessels. The island is a popular weekend destination for Aucklanders.
