The Cavalli Islands are a special place, located off the east coast of Northland, about three kilometres north-east of Matauri Bay. Whether you visit them by boat or view them from Matauri Bay, their beauty will enchant you.
The Cavallis are the final resting place of the Rainbow Warrior, which is one of the top dive sights in Northland, now that the sea life and coral have taken hold.
The coastal area nearby and islands themselves offer many secluded beautiful beaches—spend a day swimming, snorkelling, fishing or relaxing in this subtropical paradise.
The Cavalli Islands can be reached by boat, and in good weather you can kayak to them.
Motukawanui Island, known locally as simply Motukawa, is the largest island in the Cavalli group. Farmed until 1974, today Motukawa is under the care of the Department of Conservation.
The Historic Motukawanui Scenic Reserve is a popular attraction on Motukawanui Island.
Camping is not permitted on Motukawanui Island, however the Motukawanui Hut offering basic amenities is available.
