You’ll see stunning beaches, bays and coves inaccessible by land, and witness a huge array of wildlife which can include seals, dolphins, penguins, and orcas. The golden beaches, rugged natural coastline, and crystal-clear waters are spectacular and world renowned. Native bush is punctuated by rocky outcrops of granite, limestone and marble, and the songs of the native birds fills the forests.

Marine wildlife

Tui and bellbird song fills the forest; shags, gannets, and little blue penguins dive for their dinner; while fur seals lounge on the rocks around the edge of Tonga Island. If you're lucky you'll also see orcas as they come in to bask in the warm waters of this beautiful nature reserve.
