Weather: Always take into consideration the weather when planning a trip to Great Barrier Island. |
|
Life on the Island
can be laid back and easy going. The city is a long way away
and so are the services you may be used to. Enjoy the
difference. |
|
Be flexible when you plan your time on the
island. E.g. If easterly conditions prevail its better to go tramping on the western side of the
island. |
|
Things to bring: Torch, sunscreen, good tramping shoes or boots. Swimming gear, surfboard & beach towel. |
|
Cell phones on the Island have very limited coverage operating mainly in Tryphena, Whangaparapara
& Port FitzRoy townships at present. |
|
Banks: There are no Banks on the
island. It's always best to have some cash. Eftpos machines require power
and this is not always available. We give cash on Eftpos & Credit Card at the
Information Centre in Tryphena. |
|
Booking is essential for
virtually everything during the summer. Always pre book for Accommodation, Transfers & Transport on the
island in order to avoid disappointment. |
|
Accommodation: There is a range of accommodation on the
island to suit all visitors. If you want advice on the best places to stay for
families, trampers, laid back weekends, places with restaurants or houses by the beach then feel free to submit an enquiry and we will make a recommendation. |
* If you get an answer phone message it's because we are either on the phone or processing Eftpos transactions. Please leave a message and we will call straight back.
