Auckland Great Barrier Island Day Tour

Great Barrier Island lies off the coast from Auckland and is about 30 minutes by air or a 2 hour ferry ride from the mainland. Named Aotea (white cloud) by the Maori, Great Barrier Island is a natural wonderland with pristine sandy beaches and lush Kauri Forests.

This day tour from Auckland will start with a flight to the Island and breakfast at a local cafe. You will then take a nature walk which begins a journey that will fascinate the most travelled of people and culminate with a hike to the top of Windy Canyon for the most fabulous views of Great Barrier Island.

See the seriously threatened Brown Teal, call the huge eels and hand feed them in the crystal clear creek, take a walk through majestic Kauri Forests, this is a day tour in an almost perfect paradise.

Great Barrier Island has a population of about 500 to 700 residents and is a particularly unspoiled island that has missed the population boom and remained almost in it's natural state. There is no electricity on the island, few roads and is like a land that time has left behind.
