Matiu/Somes Island Scientific and Historic Reserve is a tranquil retreat for wildlife and visitors alike.
Situated in the middle of Wellington's stunning harbour, visitors can wander amidst native plant and bird life while tracing the island's extraordinary history - formerly a Prisoner of War Camp and Quarantine Station, the island was also once home to Maori and has two pa sites.
Matiu / Somes Island is the largest of three islands in the northern half of Wellington Harbour.
