The guardians of the Stony Batter Tunnels, on Stonybatter Road on Waiheke Island, are Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki and Man O' War Vineyards, acting as kaitiaki. We hear that guided tours of the tunnels are temporarily unavailable while the guardians work with the Department of Conservation on the site's next chapter, so check before you go.
The Stony Batter Historic Reserve is open to the public, and visitors can explore the reserve and its surrounding walking tracks. Anyone wanting to hear when tours return can register interest on the website. Enquiries about tours, groups and media also go through the website.
