Eighty kilometers from downtown Auckland is another world… Te Hauturu-o-Toi: Little Barrier Island. For well over a century, this has been a treasured and protected wildlife reservation. The most intact ecosystem in New Zealand. Native species such as hihi and kokako that struggle to survive on the mainland are thriving on Hauturu. There are no pests here, and the waters of the Hauraki Gulf provide protection through isolation.
Little Barrier Island: New Zealand’s Ark gives viewers unprecedented access to the wonders of this precious island. From the stony shores that are a refuge for native reptiles to high ridges, riddled with the burrows of sea birds, and deep into the primeval forest, where native birds, insects and the ancient tuatara live and thrive in peace. This is New Zealand as it once was.
