Great Barrier Island is a remote, tranquil island 90km north east of central Auckland. Located at the edge of the Hauraki Gulf, it is one of the most beautiful natural landscapes in Aotearoa (New Zealand).

Pacific Ocean swells break against its eastern side, where the beaches of Awana and Medlands are popular with surfers; the western coast has sheltered deep water harbours and bays.
The island has four main settlements – Port Fitzroy, Whangaparapara and Tryphena on the western side; Claris on the eastern side.
Hiking, mountain biking, fishing and diving are the main sources of adventure on the island. There are tracks leading to secluded hot springs and historic kauri dams.
