2025 Motutapu Volunteer Season | June 7 RSVPs now open

May 12, 2025

We're pleased to announce the 2025 Motutapu volunteer season is kicking off on June 7th!


Whether you're a diehard volunteer that hasn't missed a planting day yet or looking to get involved for the first time (or anywhere in between!), we warmly welcome you to join us on June 7 for the first of four planting days we will be holding over Winter and Spring.


These days are a great way to contribute to the restoration of Motutapu as a sanctuary for taonga species. All ages are welcome (though please note, if you bring your children, you take full responsibility for their supervision) and no experience is required - and as always, transport on the Explore boats and lunch are on us.


Pick ups will be from the Viaduct (approx. 8.30am) and Stanley Point (approx. 8.45am), with the return trip departing from Motutapu at 4.00pm.
