Situated in the Hauraki Gulf about 2.5 hours from Auckland by ferry, Great Barrier Island is one of New Zealand's best kept secrets. Sparsely populated with large areas of rugged, un-spoilt natural beauty, it's a place to really get away from it all.
Hiking, mountain biking, diving, surfing and fishing are all popular adventure activities on the island. Beautiful walking tracks through native forests lead to secluded natural hot springs and pristine white sandy beaches. The more enthusiastic trampers can head for the beckoning summit of Hirakimata (Mount Hobson) rising 627 metres above the sea, with its spectacular 360 degree views.
