Great Barrier Island

A group of buddies with a simple plan: ditch the city lights of Auckland, load sea kayaks with a ton of food and beer, and cross the Hauraki Gulf to explore the coastline of Aotea.
Also known as Great Barrier Island, Aotea is New Zealand’s fourth-largest landmass. And with only 1,000 year-round residents, this 245 square-kilometer island was the perfect choice for an off-grid adventure. For New Zealand kayaker Mike Dawson and his crew of fellow Kiwis, this backyard adventure delivered it all: wildlife encounters, epic hiking, secluded beach campsites and meals cooked over an open fire.

Where about on the island are you kayaking? A group of three of us heading over there in a couple of weeks; kayaking through those rock formations and caves looks awesome!
