Travel guide to Tawhiti Rahi

Tawhiti Rahi is the largest of the islands in the Poor Knights Islands group.
It was inhabited by members of the Ngatiwai tribe who lived on the island seasonally, using it as a base to collect seafood and birds at different times of the year.

They also had extensive gardens that were tended on a regular basis.
To make the best use of the available soil and water the gardens were terraced by building stone walls, many of which are still intact today.

In 1922 the islands were declared a 'scenic' reserve and are a sanctuary for nature and imported game. Besides the pigs left over from Maori times, no other wildlife was ever introduced to the islands.

In 1967 the islands became part of the newly formed Hauraki Gulf Maritime Park. [edit text]  [editors]
