Day Visit to QIKT

The island is a public Recreation Reserve and visitors are welcome. You can come over on your own boat or kayak, or you can take one of several boat charter/water taxi options. You’re welcome to visit the Island on your own schedule (check in with the Keeper when you arrive), or you can join us on one of our Welcome Days.

Groups or individuals can stay overnight in St.Martin Lodge and/or book the Married Quarters building or book the Lodge for day visits or events. St. Martin Lodge is basic accommodation for groups and families. It is also used as a centre for hui, retreats, conferences, camps, and other gatherings in accordance with our values and vision.

Our calendar shows when the Lodge is available along with upcoming public events. Our Island Keeper or volunteers can run a program alongside your group or involve you as a volunteer in a mahi project.

We host many public events on the Island. Our Facilities Day Hire Brochure is available on request. Day rates for hire of the St. Martin Lodge – $250 plus $10 per person. Day rates for hire of the Married Quarters – Up to 4 hours $120; Over 4 hours (all day) $360. Please contact us to tell us about, and book an event you would like to take place on QI/KT.
