Te Ahumata may not be the highest peak on Great Barrier Island but this plateau shaped hill with its distinctive white cliffs is definitely worth climbing.

While Kaitoke’s natural hot pools are not a Barrier Island must-do, they are worth visiting if you’re looking for an easy walk and have some time to spare.

Situated on the outer edge of the Hauraki Gulf Marine Park, Great Barrier Island is a mecca for divers, offering an array of dive sites for all skill levels.
