Motutapu, linked by causeway to Rangitoto, is New Zealand's best volunteering destination . Volunteer work for The Motutapu Restoration Trust includes tree planting, conservation, beach cleanups and other volunteer activities on this beautiful island. We are a short ferry ride from Auckland . Come help us restore the island's natural heritage. Why not visit and walk our tracks? - you can walk through our volunteer forest and be rewarded with superb views of the spectacular Hauraki Gulf Marine Park

An apology to all our recent site visitors. In early March this year, our website suffered a malicious intrusion which knocked out much of the site's functionality. The hack created significant damage which took some time for us to rectify. Although we continue to test for any remaining issues we believe we are now successfully restored . We are now working to update content and retire outdated material. Thank you for your patience.

Motutapu - 'Sacred Island'

The island is experiencing an exciting, large scale and long term transformation. Our project is the largest ecological restoration endeavour in New Zealand. Motutapu is only 30 minutes by ferry from downtown Auckland, New Zealand's largest city and is linked by causeway to Rangitoto Island in the Hauraki Gulf Marine Park. Motutapu and Rangitoto are now pest free islands - please, we need your help to keep it that way.

The Motutapu Restoration Trust is committed to restoring the natural and cultural landscapes of this beautitful and very special island
