About Great Barrier Island

This beautiful variegated green island lies to the east of the mainland of New Zealand, only 10 kilometres from the rugged tip of the Coromandel Peninsula, but over 80 kilometres from the metropolis of Auckland.

Discovered by Captain Cook, he named them the Barrier Isles due to the protection they provided the Hauraki Gulf.

It is a place of rugged peaks and tumbling streams, of dense forest and verdant valleys. The west coast is a jumble of islets and islands, inlets and bays, with some of the finest boating harbours in New Zealand. Along the east coast it is a combination of iron-bound cliffs and rocky reef, and mile upon mile of golden sandy beaches, with the surf pounding in unobstructed from across the wide Pacific Ocean.

Activities on Great Barrier Island include:

• ARGO—eight wheel adventures
• Horse riding
• Kayaking
• Camping
• Diving
• Fishing
• Golf
• Sightseeing tramping
