Motuara Island bird sanctuary attracts bird lovers from all over the world. All introduced pests were removed in the early 1990's and the island is now home to a variety of native species having struggled to survive, or died out on the mainland.

These include saddleback (tieke), NZ robin (toutouwai), bellbird (korimako), tui, grey warbler (riroriro), NZ pigeon (kereru), silver eye (tauhou), fantail (piwakawaka), the endangered South Island Saddleback, the very rare king shag, Maud Island frog and the Marlborough green gecko. Follow the track which winds up to the highest point of the island and there awaits you fantastic views across to Ship Cove. There is a spectacular view to the North Island from the Cook Straight lookout.
