Just a 30-minute flight from Auckland and beautifully unspoiled, Great Barrier Island is a natural haven for wildlife and lovers of nature. The interior is laced with walking paths through magnificent forests, hot springs and historical kauri dams.
The best paths are found in Great Barrier Forest where, after a couple of hours鈥� tramping, you can reach Hirakimata, the island鈥檚 highest point, with views across to the Coromandel and Auckland. On the coast, Great Barrier also has some of the North Island鈥檚 finest surf beaches, with crystal-clear diving offshore.
The sheer isolation of the island is an attractive factor and it is the ideal place for a tranquil retreat.
