Such a relaxing ferry trip over and back on East by West Ferry. Informative debriefing before exploring flora, fauna and views from Matiu. Pathways are wide and well maintained. Visitor Centre and signage interesting and helpful. Thoroughly enjoyed this special predator free island adventure. Definitely going back for a walk in nature. Uplifting for me

A local friend suggested we visit out here for the views and I’m so glad that we did! It’s a lovely day out from Wellington, with a ferry ride out to the island then various walking trails and a chance for a swim just near the ferry wharf.
The DOC staff are welcoming, and very thorough in their bio security check to make sure the island remains pest-free.
Please note there are almost no facilities on the island so bring all your own food and water. And on a sunny day, some of the tracks are quite exposed.
There are stunning views, lovely forests and pastures, historic buildings - a worthwhile addition to your Wellington itinerary

Somes Island is a beautiful place to visit. It was educational and knowledgeable about the history of the place. Moreover, thanks to the Department of Conservation for maintaining the island. It is one of a kind.

Matiu/Somes Island is the largest of three islands of Wellington Harbour. Beautiful and worth a visit for its wildlife, history and scenic views.

Excellent day trip from Wellington. It is only a 20 minute trip. Once there it is a nice 75 minute or so walk around the island to see the flora and fauna as well as the history of the island. Well worth a visit.

Went by ferry from Days Bay (shorter trip and it was a rough day). Been here before so knew what to look for and where to go. Was able to lean into the wind without falling over! Walked around the island and through the quarantine buildings and up to the gun emplacements (really extremely windy up there!). The old grave memorial on way up from the jetty is interesting. The small museum has some very interesting facts especially about the internees and German POW's. We went back to the jetty through the bush and waited for the ferry in the cabin that everybody has to go through for a briefing and inspection on arrival at the island. Had a chat to the DOC ranger about the island and boarded the ferry for a trip back to Days Bay. Definitely worth a visit - put aside a few hours and check out the ferry timetable before going though

After seeing this island from the city and surroundings, I finally got around to visiting it. I took the ferry from Days Bay and once ashore, was greeted by a DOC official and briefed on the do's and don'ts of the island.
It was lovely to wander the tracks, admire the views as well as listen and observe the wildlife. It is a tranquil reserve. Just lovely.

So glad we took this little trip! Short ferry ride to the island and then looking around at our leisure. We took so many pictures! Your choice of what paths you would like to take depending on the time you would like to spend there and your fitness level.

How steep is it to get to the top?

It’s not excessively steep at all, the path from the wharf area is well formed and you can stroll along at your own pace. It is a typical walking track. If you do the circuit to return down to the wharf, the path through the trees is wide and sheltered. If you feel more comfortable, a hiking stick may give more confidence. However it really is a very pleasant walk. Once you are in the area where the buildings are, its quite flat. The views are wonderful. It gives you a different perspective of Wellington. Recommend you wear sturdy footwear though for comfort and to avoid slips. Hope this helps.

Is there any way an elderly lady can get a ride to the top of the island

There must be a utility vehicle or two on the island, as there are roads, plus a visitor center and some simple lodging to service. But, without knowing for sure, I would tend to doubt that they'd be available for visitor use. Parts of the island are marked as "wheelchair access," and there is a management plan calling for expansion of accessibility. But vehicle access for visitors is another matter. So here is a suggestion:
All the harbor islands, including this one, are managed by the Harbor Island Kaitiaki Board. I checked the board's website, which lists as contacts for Matiu/Somes Island: "Island Rangers, Jo Greenman or Emma Dunning, telephone 568 6555 or email matiusomes@doc. govt.nz." You might give it a try. Good luck!

Can I take the ferry from Seatoun?

As you will have seen no, there isn't a Seatoun ferrry. We usually go from Days Bay because there is free parking there, and good coffee, ice-creams and food over the road so you can get your fix before leaving.

Yes, it is a great place to take the kids. I think you could even get around with a buggy for a lot of the island. There is one very steep track but you wouldn't need to go up it. Just take all you need for the day because there is only water there.
