Koha & Community Membership

Projects succeed because of the support we receive from our supporters, local businesses, and members of the public. Every donation helps us save historic buildings, plant native trees, monitor biodiversity, conduct pest control, and accommodate visitors.

If you visit us on a Welcome Day, we would greatly appreciate a $5 minimum donation per person to Quarantine Island/Kamau Taurua. Our charity runs the facilities on the Island and the ecological restoration work in the reserve and 100% of every contribution is put towards these projects. We usually collect this with your boat fee when you board the boat.


Koha can be made to:

Quarantine Island Kamau Taurua Community
Kiwibank      38 90170478888 00

For koha/payments, especially group bookings, we can provide you with an invoice. When you donate please include your name as the reference code. Contact us with your address if you require a tax receipt, and if you’d like to, a fuller explanation of how you would like your money spent.
