Enjoy stunning views from island lookout points<br />
Itineraries<br />
I have: No time The ultimate way to see the island is an exciting ride<br />
on the back of a trike with the wind in your hair and views all around. Whether<br />
you prefer a relaxed cruise or an exhilarating blast, it’s a unique and fun way to<br />
tour Great Barrier Island. Stop for a coffee at Claris before heading south to the<br />
stunning east coast beaches of Kaitoke and Medlands to check out the surf.<br />
Walk the length of the beautiful golden beaches or dive straight into the waves<br />
armed with your surfboard.<br />

I have: A Bit of time Must-see attractions on Great Barrier include<br />
the simply spectacular views from the Windy Canyon Lookout and a soak in the<br />
Kaitoke Hot Springs. The Windy Canyon Lookout walk takes around 15 minutes<br />
and has a steep section through rock bluffs, while the 45 minute walk to Kaitoke<br />
Hot Springs is an easy stroll to a series of relaxing hot pools.<br />
I have: PleNty of time On the west coast lies Port FitzRoy, a boating<br />
mecca and the starting point for the kauri dam track to Mount Hobson. Take the<br />
time to visit Glenfern Sanctuary, a wildlife habitat where you can take a guided<br />
walk and meet some of New Zealand’s endangered species such as the kaka,<br />
brown teal and chevron skink. Kayaking offers one of the best ways to discover<br />
the wild natural beauty of the island’s coves, bays, inlets and wildlife. Hire a<br />
kayak or take a guided kayak tour and discover the hidden secrets on the island<br />
with the safety of a certified guide.<br />
