Thanks for the tip, but I have other stops along the way on my itinerary, so I'll be driving from Auckland.If you fly from Auckland to Whangarei (the closest airport to Tutukaka) you can take a shuttle bus to Tutukaka. I know that the shuttle bus www.coastalcommuter.co.nz services the Whangarei airport and gets you to Tutukaka in time for the boats leaving to the Poor Knights.
But that's great info for the next person that sees this thread!
