Accessible by sea or air, Great Barrier Island, also known as Aotea, has a permanent population of around 500.

Great Barrier is one of the last great wilderness areas of the Auckland region. In the island's centre, spectacular bluffs and ridges rise to the highest peak Hirakimata, at 621metres. To the west, forest covered ranges meet the coast, a maze of bays, islands and indented fiords. The eastern coastline has sweeping white sands and surf beaches, often backed by tidal creeks and wetlands.
