Somes Island is a predator-free scientific reserve off the coast of Wellington. This scenic Island paradise is home to several rare native birds and animals from the worlds smallest penguins, to the North Island Robin and several diverse species of weta.
The island is also a historic reserve and is recognised as New Zealand's first inner harbour lighthouse. This is the perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle for a day, so take the ferry over, and soak in the rich history and nature of this little-known north island gem.
