Dark sights in Wellington

  1. A

    Matiu-Somes Island

    East by West ferries stop at Matiu-Somes Island (return fare adult/child $21/11), a wildlife reserve managed by the Department of Conservation (DOC) where you might see weta, tuatara, kakariki and little blue penguins, among other critters. The island is rich in history, having once been a prisoner-of-war camp and quarantine station. Take a picnic lunch, although the eager can camp overnight (adult/child $10/5) or in a DOC house – book online at www.doc.govt.nz or at Wellington’s DOC visitor centre.
