TIPS FOR A GREAT BARRIER GETAWAY
To help if bad weather or unforeseen circumstances call for change, packaging travel bookings through a single Great Barrier tourism service is recommended.
Taking a ferry ride through the Hauraki Gulf one way and flight the other, can turn travel to and from Aotea/Great Barrier into a scenic tour of the sculptured land and sparkling sea. Book a local driver to complete the loop.
Plan for patchy phone coverage and limited solar power on the 100% off-grid island. At the Cabin, a slow connection to Vodaphone/2° can usually be made. There is power for charging electronics, but not enough to plug in a hair dryer.
