Matakohe - Limestone Island in the upper Whangārei Harbour and is just a boat ride from the city or a short paddle from the suburb of Onerahi.
Open for everyone to enjoy, the community input has transformed Matakohe - Limestone Island from degraded pasture into a regenerating forest habitat.
The island was once an important Māori pa site and the remains of kumara cultivation can still clearly be seen on northern slope of the island. There are also impressive ruins of one of Whangārei's earliest industrial sites - the Limestone Island cement works, founded in 1856.
It has been replanted by the community and pests eradicated and is now an important conservation refuge for rare and endangered native animals.
There may be some known and potential hazards that users should be aware of and avoid.
