It's Official - Spring is here!

Things are warming up, the days are definitely getting longer and over here on Aotea - Great Barrier Island, the local tourism operators are washing the last of the winter wind blown salt from the windows and shaking out the Welcome mats. Let the fun begin!

Paradise Awaits..
Although this stunning island paradise is located no more than a convenient 30 minute flight from Auckland Airport, by paying us a visit this season, you'll be beating around 90% of the entire Auckland City population to reach our pristine shores!
If little planes aren't your thing, you'll be impressed by the very scenic, and much more relaxed trip on the Sealink Ferry service. Regular dolphin and whale sightings help make the 4.5 hour sailing pass quickly and there's something 'authentic' about disovering an island by sea.

Why Great Barrier island?
Great Barrier Island isn't for everyone... and that's exactly what makes it so special. You won't find traffic lights giving you the go-ahead, you won't find a mall, a bank,or a food court anywhere. Streetlights don't exist and footpaths are rare. But...You will find very friendly locals, unbelievably beautiful mountainous skylines, long white beaches, incredible night skies and quite possibly - yourself!

That's Convenient!
Go Great Barrier Island is a local family tourism business and we've been helping visitors 'find themselves' or if preferred, 'get lost' on the Barrier for more than 20 years now.
We specialise in custom building holiday packages for a diverse clientle range, and for us, providing a smooth and enjoyable process is just as important as delivering the perfect island holiday experience.

Go Great Barrier Island has developed a range of easily accessable pre-packaged options for visitors with limited time to arrange a holiday themselves. 
There's something for everybody! Hikers, fisherman, curious 1st timers and seasoned Barrier regulars all sample our Top Ten Holiday Packages. There's 'family friendly' adventure packages, romantic escapes and 'activity packed' options that include coastal cruises, exhilaraing trike rides and more!
