"Adventure and beauty are in abundance on Great Barrier Island"
Surrounded by ocean, water activities are an obvious choice. Consistent surf beaches, large harbours for kayaking and plenty of marine life make for great fishing, snorkelling or diving. So make sure you pack your swimmers.
Golden sand beaches decorate the borders of the island, perfectly waiting for walking or beach-combing endeavours.
The lsland itself is covered in New Zealand native bush and is home to rare, native wildlife like the North Island Kaka.
Tramping on Great Barrier Island is considered amongst the top New Zealand has to offer. And if trekking and hiking aren't your kettle of fish, there is always the option of helicopter sight-seeing.
Talk to us at Puriri Bay Retreat about organising activities for your stay. We can provide complimentary use of kayaks, fishing tackle and a dinghy.
And it’s no problem for us to organise a fishing charter or sight seeing tour if you would like.
