On the last Saturday of each month, we have a Welcome Day. We organise boat transport and you can stay until the afternoon or overnight. 100% of our day visitor donations goes a long way to maintaining and restoring this sanctuary in the middle of Otago Harbour. You can purchase more than one ticket for multiple people in your group. This payment INCLUDES the return boat fare and the Island Day Visit Donation.
The boat pick up is at 9.30am (Spring/Summer) or 10am (Autumn/Winter) from Back Beach Port Chalmers (or Portobello pontoon by arrangement) returning at about 3.30pm. Please use the single parks on the road outside of the Back Beach Yacht Club carpark if coming for the day or overnight. A pick-up on the Portobello side is usually possible by prior arrangement. Please indicate if you’d like a Portobello pickup on your registration form.
