Neither technically, arn't they both Woof free islands?
Admin is easy but you may run into DOCers who will hate you way more than your dog.
I'd pick bolder due to less likelihood of encountering an anal human.

I really hate seeing people take their dogs onto the doc reserve, no dogs allowed, islands up North every morning to do their business.
Just saying.
My brother and his wife got really offended when I told them they couldn't take their dogs to most of the places they were going up Far North while visiting, they seemed to take it personally.
Break it to your "friend" gently, could get nasty.

Break it to your "friend" gently, could get nasty. Generally I do as well but DOC closed the 2 islands because they hate humans and then a wee whilelater when pushed claimed it was to protect the baby Kiwi they had put on them. To put something that sensitive within 6 very very easy to cover kilometres from 1.5 million people, many with boats and pets, does seem an excersie in DoC throwing its power around over sensible common sense.
Boats have pets and to expect them to be left at home is just wrong. To expect those pets not to pop ashore for a pee/walk for weeks on end is again just wrong. So in these 2 specific islands case I can live with seeing a dog have a run and pee as long as it stays on the beach, which sort of runs 'a bet each way' program.
The Gulf has lots of Islands, most are now closed to humans for wildlife reasons, most, like me, have zero issue with that. But surely humans are allowed to use at least 2 of them.

The sign was enough to scare him away to Rakino! What’s the settlement of substantial buildings all about?  |

Was a outdoor/school education camp Dates back to WWW1 or WWW2 as the island had 2 or 3 battery posts. Strange bit is the camp being on the seaward side,more sense to be in Home bay. www.motutapucamp.org.nz/our-locationwww.motutapucamp.org.nz/our-locationWas working on PEP scheme in the 80s when they were excavating maori pa etc and yes maori were living there before Rangi erupted as pa pits had ash in them. Motuhihe island a naval history + influenza hospital.WWW2 held a notorius naval german ,Von Lucknor? who escaped |

The problem is fuckwits that have no control over their mutts.
Like we got into a barney over with some loser who got his knickers in a knot when I told him that he wasn't meant to have a dog on the island (GMI) and even if he did that surely if he had half a brain cell he'd see the dotterel it had been chasing for the last ten minutes wasn't far off falling over with fright from a lab trying to eat it.
He walked up to me and screamed FUCK OFF repeatedly in my face. I told him to get his dog off the bird, pull he head out of his arse and continued my walk. His g/f was just as brainless as he was and also started ranting like your average green party politician.
I find dog owners in general to be some of the most righteous people I've ever come across should you question their dog.
Our neighbours mutt took a dislike to one of my kids, bailed him up while off lead down the beach one day. I had a crack at her and she told me my kids needed to get more used to her dog. Fortunately for her she was standing on the other side of her gate...
Which is a shame as we always had a dog growing up and I like them.
Some of the owners, not so much.
