Somes Island is accessible by Ferry. Matiu, as it is known in Maori, is the largest of the three islands anchored in the inner harbour and certainly the most interesting geologically and historically. Amongst the flourishing predator-free forest, remains of the original pa site, war fortifications and buildings from its time as a quarantine station are evident. There are no shops, so bring your own picnic.
