Urupukapuka Island

About

Urupukapuka Island is the largest island in the Bay of Islands of New Zealand, located about 7.3 km (4.5 mi) from Paihia. The island is a popular stopover point for tour boats to the Hole in the Rock and is also serviced by ferries for day trips from Paihia and Russell. Urupukapuka is commonly interpreted as the island of many puka trees due to the amount of puka trees that used to be on the island. Now, there are only a few puka trees left on the island due to deforestation.
