Volunteer-guide led educational tours are available for school groups visiting Matiu/Somes Island. These half-day morning or afternoon tours cover the island's unique cultural and natural history. They fit well with the New Zealand Curriculum and with NCEA programmes.

The tour cost is $2 per student (plus $13 per student for the return ferry fare to either Wellington City or to Eastbourne).

As the term 4 demand for tours can exceed our guiding capacity bookings for November and December should be made by the end of term 3.
