deFining tHe limit oF tHe Hauraki gulF,<br />
great barrier island is one oF tHe<br />
most tranquil and unspoilt places<br />
you’ll ever Find.<br />
Its golden beaches, crystal clear waters and vast<br />
native forests are home to relatively few people.<br />
Nature, in all its rugged beauty, is king here.<br />
But the reality is that Great Barrier is only about<br />
30 minutes away by plane from Auckland Airport<br />
or North Shore Airfield. The island is also served<br />
by a vehicle and passenger ferry from Wynyard<br />
Wharf in downtown Auckland.<br />
From tramping through native forest to sea<br />
kayaking around the coves and inlets of the<br />
island’s coast, there are endless ways to explore<br />
this adventurer’s paradise.<br />
Inland, well-formed tracks through the forest<br />
will lead you to secluded hot springs, swimming<br />
holes, waterfalls and historic kauri dams. Great<br />
Barrier is also a great place for bird watching, golf,<br />
boating, surfing, diving and fishing.<br />
If you time your holiday to Great Barrier right, you<br />
could participate in one of the island’s exciting<br />
sporting, food and garden events.<br />
