We did the Motuara bird watch cruise. The island is small but you only get an hour there which is just enough for a slow walk up and down. We saw very friendly NZ robins and a few other types. Also a couple of penguin chicks in their nest boxes. The amazing sound was the cicadas which you could see flying and sounding. The cruise includes a brief stop at Ship Cove where Captain Cook landed and many other stops on the mail boat trip.
