Getting around
Some people wonder what we do all day… Or what you are going to do all day when you are here… Don’t worry, you are welcome to sit and watch the view or read your book and totally relax, or just do absolutely nothing all day. For active people there is stacks to do, and for art and craft lovers, too. Often, you have to make your own fun on Great Barrier Island, but there are people who are happy to assist, too. Check with us if in doubt. Ask Hilde to email you her personal Barrier activities guide.
