Overview
Great Barrier Island is a remote paradise in the Hauraki Gulf, perfect for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike. If you’ve packed your walking shoes and your camera, a hike up Mt Hobson (Hirakimata) via Windy Canyon will reward you with breathtaking 360-degree views over the island’s lush landscape.
If relaxing is more your style, then lying on the golden sands of Medlands Beach or soaking in the Kaitoke Hot Springs will deliver those calm, rejuvenating vibes. For a short scenic stroll, the Glenfern Sanctuary offers beautiful forest walks and native wildlife encounters.
You might just want to enjoy a meal at a local café. Whether it’s kayaking, fishing, surfing, or simply unwinding off-grid, the options are aplenty.
