  The harbour is an important habitat for many native and migratory birds, including snipe, sandpipers, godwits, plover and curlew.
• Walks
  There are various walks in the area that will take you around historic pa sites and through the beautiful ponga, nikau, totara, rimu and other native trees that cover the area. Some walks will take you right around this beautiful area, giving you stunning views of the harbour. If you're not feeling up for a long walk, you could do this on top of a horse instead.
