About
Mokopuna (the 'grandchild') Island is a small uninhabited island in Wellington Harbour, New Zealand. It is about 200 metres (219 yd) on its long axis and about 80 metres (87 yd) across. It lies immediately north of the much larger Matiu / Somes Island, from which it is separated by a channel about 50 metres (55 yd) wide.
A number of wave-cut arches and caves line the shore. Mokopuna is a scientific reserve where gulls and blue penguins nest and where no landings are allowed.
