Tourism is what keeps the islands alive so we were happy to join in on some local ones with 'George the Bird man' who took us plant and bird spotting with his nephew sampling the pickings on a beach picnic at the end and then the Anatakitaki Kopeka bird cave tour which was a challenging walk for the kids but rewarding at the end when you could cool off in the fresh water cave pools by candle light.
